How do EFLs know how to write a word correctly?Do they have a agency that regulate their grammar?
Peepee in my own pant
>>222542889You learn how while you're growing up.
>>222542937Yes but in what are the teacher basing their classes?
>>222542889Nigga I read
it's just general consensus, it's never been regulated or standardised because it's arose naturally and has always been mutually intelligible Portugese, Spanish, German, French, Italian etc are artificial languages. The government made them and enforced it and it's rules while empire building
>>222543051>standardised
>>222543051It's been standardized several times, arguably right now rules that govern the corpus of English are at their least enforced in a long time. >>222542889It all has a reason going back to the etymology of the word. English draws on several different languages
>>222542889Imagine some ooga booga tribal language that has no "official" rules, but everyone in the village (except the village retard) knows what's right or wrong because they grew up speaking it. Now imagine the ooga booga village is home to several hundred million people.
>>222542952You already know English before going to school, so they mostly just focus on how to read and write properly.
>>222543159>properlyIn my country there's a organisation that decides what's properly and what is not
>>222543089>standardizedto illustrate the lack thereof
>>222542937>You learn how while you're growing up.Lies, EFLs never grow up.
>>222543172For English there are many organisations that decide what's proper, and they're all right except for the ones I don't like.
>>222542889Strictly speaking, there isn't such a thing as a "correct" way to write any given english word.
>>222543051Portuguese is not artificial, it has been around for longer than it has been regulated by a government. The first normatization of spelling only happened in 1911, by the republican government in Portugal, long after their empire building phase
