    Language: ENGLISH   
      
    DESCription:   
    English Tutoring for Students of the English Language.   
    This echo should be of interest to those who wish to improve their   
    command of English, and to those who wish to act as their tutors.   
    Participants may submit short texts for critique and discussion by   
    literate English speakers in English-speaking countries.   
    Discussions of points of grammar, usage, standard English   
    and regionalisms are welcome. Chatting is allowed, provided   
    the texts are viewed as language practice subject to   
    comments by the tutors and other students.   
      
    RULEs: {Verified}   
      
    Rules Content:   
      
      
    1. The purpose of this echo is to provide help with the use of the   
    English language. All of the following rules are directed toward   
    this goal.   
      
    2. Play nice and play fair. Be kind to each other. Be considerate of   
    and respectful towards all other participants. A helpful spirit is   
    mandatory.   
      
    3. No ridiculing. No personal attacks ("flames").   
      
    4. If anyone feels the need to right a perceived wrong, please notify   
    the moderators by Netmail or E-mail and ask them to deal with the   
    problem. In other words, leave the moderating to the moderators.   
      
    5. No profanity. This is an international family echo. Participants are   
    expected to act in a mature and polite manner. You may, however, ask   
    the meaning of a vulgarism. You may also quote vulgarisms, for    
   example   
    a joke, if not to excess.   
      
    6. The language of the ENGLISH_TUTOR echo is, predictably, English.   
      
    7. Please do not quote more than necessary.   
      
    8. Please use your real name.   
      
    9. No advertisements for products or services are allowed. You may   
    mention programs, books, magazines and other materials related to   
    the study of the English language which you have found helpful.   
      
    10. No formal qualifications are required to act as a tutor. Tutors are,   
    however, expected to be literate in English.   
      
    11. Emphasis is on the use of standard English, but regionalisms are   
    acceptable provided they are identified as such.   
      
    12. Both American and British spelling, punctuation, etc. are   
    acceptable in this echo.   
      
    13. In view of their highly emotional nature discussions of sex,   
    religion, and politics need to be handled carefully. Within reason    
   and   
    good taste such discussions will be allowed from time to time.   
      
    14. Participation in this echo is a privilege, not a right. Anyone is   
    welcome here as long as they abide by the rules.   
      
    15. Enjoy!
