This isn’t about betrayel or assassination though. This is about language. I was stumbling around on the internet today and I came across www.lang-8.com. If this is something that everyone already knows about and I’m just hopping on the bandwagon, sue me. Otherwise, this is fascinating.

The premise is simple. People trying to learn a new language write journal entries(or whatever they want, really) and people who are strong in that language come along and correct you. See? Simple. But it’s remarkably interesting and to be 100% honest, hysterically funny at times.

It’s also provided me with hours of entertainment so far and a sense of awesomeness. I’ve been helping people with English. That’s cool. Go check it out.
