April 29, 2007 at 3:17 AMI think there's a difference between usage and rules. "You are taller than him" is a fairly likely possibility in English. It contravenes a rule that most native speakers neither know nor understand.

Posted on: Ordering a Steak
May 2, 2007 at 3:55 AMI don't eat steak very often, but for years I struggled with the issue of describing how I want it cooked for years. I just didn't ask. I relied on someone else to do it. It's funny that we can allow something like this to to happen: I was probably eating steak a couple of times per year - that is in situations where I could have learned the proper terminology, but it took me years before I actually sat down and went through it in detail. Maybe it's becasue the only time I eat steak is probably with my wife and she is more likely to do the ordering in a restaurant. From the recording perspective, however, I find these situations make the lesson more rewarding for me personally. Maybe if you've struggled to learn something I might be able to pass on some useful advice or insight to other learners.
