ENGLISH -- a language

English is a language like any other. Learn to speak it as you would any other language. Don't get bogged down by paying undue attention to the complexities of grammar and usage. It doesn't mean that you should speak non-standard English but only that you should not be side-tracked by attention to details. Don't expect yourself to know every difficult word in the dictionary or get all the rules of grammar by heart. Just use the language and enjoy it.

The purpose of any communication is to express yourself, not to impress people.
