spacetimecontinuum Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 The headline for this part of the forum reads "how should X language be teached?", should that not read "taught"?With respect, I realize the forum is probably run by polyglots so these mistakes can happen. :kiss: Quote
linguaholic Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Oh, what a silly mistake. You are right. Just changed it. Thank you for pointing out that embarrassing mistake :grin: Quote

Thank you for pointing out that embarrassing mistake :grin:No problem, English is the only language I speak, so it's the only one I'm in a position to correct, lol. Quote
xTinx Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 Even a native speaker commits grammar and pronunciation mistakes. There are a lot of non-native speakers who speak better English than the natives themselves. What I'm really getting at is that mistakes are key ingredients to learning. The mistakes we commit help us learn a language better. czarina84 1 Quote
Baburra Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 XTinx makes a great point. Mistakes will happen even for native speakers, and like OP said, it's even more understandable in multilingual people. On a side note, I just had to look up what pedant means and now I have a new word in my vocabulary. So... Thanks! :grin: Quote
Rosa Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Mistakes do happen, even by the brightest and best of us. I have written things and edited and long after when I go back and look at it there are errors so even native English speakers aren't perfect with English. Quote

I might do this 2 or 3 times on the same piece of writing and find mistakes every time. Quote
gegegeno Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 At the risk of continuing the pedantry...It now says "How does language X should be taught?"...Should that be "How should language X be taught?"?(Thanks again linguaholic for all the great work you do for this community! ) Quote
