    Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

    Well, I think you need some thoughts to be expressed first to have any use for proper grammar. Grammar does not makes those thoughts.

    Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

    Every living language is in a constant change. As long as there is something to be told a way to tell it will be made. The history of languages is pretty interesting, by my opinion. But where most people losing it is, when they forget that the present is not some end point in the story...

    Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

    My first thought was to look it up. And the result was, that it's a well known rabbit hole, usually resolved by admitting both the 'her' and the 'she is' being acceptable. And some more, depending on the country. ...but with hinting a slight difference in context/usage where they fit. But...

    Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

    I think it's actually good that way, with a bit of caveat. Reading and analyzing is good, but it could be better by adding more actual usage.

    Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

    I think that functionality is more and more taken over by the first few semesters instead. It might be a bit slower and bit more wasteful, but I think it's actually better this way. Maybe not, but if you want to widen the base you need to be ready to remedy the variations in background. Not...

    E-Bike/Scooter Li Battery Fires

    Just as he said. When other property is in danger they are protecting (cooling) that, not the burning vehicle.

    Cooling a processor chip

    It's more about familiarity. Differences makes elderly users feel insecure, and little differences adds up at the end. Even those seemingly little (but often enforced) changes may matter which comes with updates. And the small but numerous differences between Win10 and Win11... I may get a...

    Cooling a processor chip

    For elder people even the 'clikety' instead of the 'clikety-click' is a hurdle.

    E-Bike/Scooter Li Battery Fires

    As far as the company training went: since damaged batteries actually cannot be 'extinguished' but will 'burn' till energy remains within the primary goal is to isolate: keep people away and prevent nearby materials to catch fire till the battery (wreck) is hot. Some batteries may explode so...
