OK, I didn't realize you were from Netherlands until I read that sentence and clicked on your profile. In English, learning does not imply teaching.
- jacquesm 16y agoOk. I never even used the word teach in the original piece though...

I see that I'm getting downmodded on top of having to waste my time on this, so that'll teach me how to help people with their English next time.
- erikpukinskis 16y agoI think you're getting downmodded for implying jacquesm simply doesn't understand english enough to know the difference between learning and teaching. Pretty patronizing. If you bothered to learn you would know that most Dutch people speak English, and that it's a required course in schools. But that's OK I'm happy to teach you.
- c00ki3s 16y agoBut in Dutch, "leren" means 'to teach' and 'to learn' (IIRC), so his presumption was at least a very logical one.
