So, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the shocking English in the 'new paradigm in English education' textbooks.
Man, oh man, it's awful.
This is supposedly one of the more famous hagwon chains in Korea. What a joke. The language is absolutely appalling. I have started a document on all the errors and filled out TWO pages for one of the textbooks.
Anyone else work for this circus? |

| How about books published by YBM - clean the shrimps (yes with an s), put the fruits in the bowl. Or what about "all of people eat... The mistakes are terrible, and it seems like the books are written and published 2 weeks later. Where is the oversight? |

I'm not defending the text book, never seen it but what's wrong with shrimps?

same as clean the chickens (if you have more than one) |

| Put the fruits in the bowl, this phrase is also acceptable. If talking about differing kinds of fruit. |
