@fuzzy-logic: Where's the space/time for another subject, "English grammar".

If not another subject, schools should place a greater emphasis on grammar, especially in the early years. If my memory serves me correctly, in Junior school we had grammar as a separate subject and in year seven/eight, we had two lessons of english devoted to grammar every rotation. Also, French/German/Italian students have grammar drilled into them, so why can't we! Sometimes I think our understanding of grammar in LOTEs is better than our understanding of grammar in our own language (in general, that is.)!

You speak like my old (v. old) English teacher who got us to go through the latin roots of English words. Personally Grammar would bore me to death and LOL so true, I know more Japanese grammar than English!
