Re: English surprises (I think you'll be surprised)


 

Here are the complaints and questions about that page. :-)??

I'm off track from discussing how unschooling works, in a way, but not (in another way).? ALL information came from somewhere (sometimes out of someones nether regions or imagination), and the real learning and knowledge doesn't come from hearing and repeating, but in looking and asking, thinking, following trails back to sources, questioning, wondering about it, checking back.??

#1, for unschooling that summary is Read a little, try a little, wait a while, watch.

#2, for that wikipedia page, if Nigeria is argued off it's spot, then the UK is back up to #5.

Of those top spots as it currently stands, U.S., India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Phillippines, the U.S. "did" the Phillippines, but England did the rest.? It's an interesting effect of colonization (a word much misused and abused this year) that the parent country or language will complain about a new variant (or accent, or choices of spellings, or use of commas :-) ).??

A tipping point came when Asian countries preferred American or Canadian English to British, in visiting teachers, or authors of instructional materials, at least in South Korea, but maybe other countries to different degrees at different times.?

I love this stuff.? Sorry to bore those who don't (who already quit reading; that's fine :-) )
