Nice concept. There are some questions in the English Grammar category that are too pedantic: 1) I heard about [him]/[his] winning the award. Allegedly, only “his” is correct here. On the other hand, there is a question about “Did you hear about [my]/[me] breaking my toe?” where only “me” and not “my” gets marked as correct. This is inconsistent. In fact, both constructions should be accepted. In the case of “his”, “winning” is used as a noun or at least similar to a noun, while in the case of “him”, “winning” is used as a participle. (Some linguists might use different terminology to describe this phenomenon, but I hope you understand.) 2) The car runs [like]/[as] it should. Just like “more than it should”, “like it should” should be regarded as correct. 3) Please stay [a while]/[awhile]. Since constructions such as “a day” can also be used without “for” (“Please wait a day”), “a while” in the sense of “for a while” is also acceptable. Both variants are correct. 4) Of the two brothers, he is the [largest]/[larger]. While the comparative can be used in this case, this does not make the superlative incorrect. After all, there is no “than” here. If one object is larger than another, it is the largest of the two objects. 5) Try [to]/[and] stop me. Duh! It is uncharitable to allege that when people say “try and”, they really mean “try to” and simply make a mistake with the words. Rather, “try and …” is idiomatic and has a slightly different meaning, because when saying “Try and stop me”, you are actually asking/challenging to stop you and not merely try (an unsuccessful attempt would not fulfill the challenge). It is like saying: “Make an effort and stop me.” 6) People like my [hat. They]/[hat, they] all say so. It is not wrong to combine two main clauses into one sentence. People may decide to do so because they are related. Besides, I have noted some misspellings/mistakes from other categories. Some of them might be corrected by now: “Afghanisatn”, “the the”, “Bugaria”, “Venzuela”, “Morroco”, “Tennesse”, “Star” (instead of “Starr”), “Da” (instead of “da”; maybe in “Da Vinci”, I do not remember), “Fredrich” (instead of “Friedrich”), “Defoe”, “Malcom”, “Katty”, “Buddah”, “Ghandi”, “Guavara”, “Elliot” (instead of “Eliot”), “Edmond” (instead of “Edmund”), “Buffet” (instead of “Buffett”), “Moa” (instead of “Mao”), “Tracy” (instead of “Tracey”), “Yoga” (instead of “Yogi”).

This is a trustworthy, good, and child suitable site because from my experience and to the best of my knowledge, it has generally acceptable advertisements, donates part of the ad-revenue to charity, trains one's vocabulary, knowledge, and/or problem solving skills, it is not involved in any phishing or scamming schemes, and does not host any malware.
