English

Name: Anonymous 2012-07-13 21:01

I learnt proper English some years ago. Strict, in the grammar sense, English. However, more and more, I see my abilities being deteriorated due to the internet. Even native speakers make constant mistakes, being some horrendous, which from those, unfortunately, I am beginning to be a victim, as I can notice them in my own speaking.

Would someone mid recommending a good book I can download from which I can revise some concepts?
Also, is there any online resource for prepositions (these I always had trouble with)?

Thank you, /lang/

>I am seeing my abilities deteriorating due to the internet

Okay (in the semantic sense)

>My abilities are deteriorating due to the internet

NO! That's not what I said. My abilities are not deteriorated, they ARE DETERIORATING. Haven't yet.

How would I know what "sounds more refined"? All I know is vocabulary and grammar, nobody ever taught me "refined" English. As long as it is grammatically correct, spelled correctly and not ambiguous, I believe it to be "refined"
