    I majored in English at university and still had to double check Wikipedia to make sure I wasn’t talking out of my ass. There are so many grammatical rules that I only have a tiny understanding of.

      Exactly! I mean, some people (looking at you downvoters) learnt that during their education. But I (we?) didn’t, and this has been a really interesting find for me.

      I genuinely love learning about linguistic weirdness, I just don’t know a lot about it. Or have many occasions to learn.
