Hyperactive English In Digital Spaces. This blog is for an ongoing project in the area of English Language Learning and Teaching.

This blog will include sections for terms, references, etc.
There is no such thing as "proper" English. There are only registers (genres) of English that consist of certain words arranged in certain ways for certain English user communities with certain needs. [Quote inspired by--see below--]
