English is a language of staggering and beautiful diversity, with oustanding shades of meaning to explain and find reason and colour in this wonderful world which we inhabit for such a short time.
Do not be afraid to teach English as a language of love, light and variety.

And we ourselves, the native speakers of English, we should not submit to the modern world and express ourselves in ever shorter fragments and sound bites that denude our language, for its is the fragrance of  life itself and gives us sustenance and purpose.

For instance, the word ''set'' can be used in 58 different ways as a noun, 10 as a participal adjective and only a limiting 126 ways as a verb. Let the language live and let is blosssom and grow.
