So true! Course the phrases aren't as relatable in other-lingual instances of education, but they really do make things unnecessarily difficult. The thing that's annoyed the most though is how all textbooks for 'higher' education phrase ways in a way that seems to be made to seem intellectual, not to in the best possible way teach what's supposed to be taught. Extensive grammar knowledge shouldn't be a prerequisite of higher learning, they should make it so people can learn as much as possible as easily as possible, and spread their wealth of wisdom instead of hiding it behind a form of communication reserved to those with the wealth to learn it. But anyway: great episode, as always.
