Default Suggestion

Thanks for the good job Eric and co... but since man is an insatiable creature here is a suggestion I am sure many would like.
A kind of page or notice board where people can paste some common mistakes we teachers make in English. That could go a long way to maintain the quality of English we teachers speak. Since most of us live in ESL environments, we have listen to these incorrect usages so oftenly that they have slipped into our speech and have begun to sound correct. Let's have a board where people can pick out the 'dirt' and paste out for everyone else to see and avoid.
Cheers!
Denis.

Hi Denis,

Welcome to the site!

I think that's a great idea. Feel free to start a new thread in the Teaching ESL forum. I'm sure there will be lots of 'dirt'.

Take care,

Eric
