There are both types because some take a prescriptive approach.

Prescriptive grammars and dictionaries are primarily intended for
schoolchildren and foreign-speaking students of the language.

BTW, English teachers know the difference between "then" and "than".

And how to spell _terminology_, too, if keeping score is important to
you.


He's not an english teacher.

But then, neither are you, luser boi

Then why isn't there just one?

A real English teacher knows that dictionaries are definitive as
opposed to your pull-it-out-your ass, make it up as you go along
technique.

Dictionaries are descriptive, as a general rule.

But not smart enough to answer the question that was asked.

I already have a number of dictionaries. Once purchased, they cost
nothing further.


Evasion noted.

You whine repeatedly about how you come to this newsgroup to discuss
aviation, and whine about people not doing so.

What does this have to do with aviation?

If you can't be bothered discussing aviation here - LEAVE!

Nonsense. Many of them are considered major, authoritative sources. Adult
English-speaking writers use them all the time. I know many who do just that.

But even if you were correct, you've now admitted that your original claim was wrong.

BTW, English teachers know the difference between "then" and "than".

It's not. But you're the one who claims to be a teacher of the language.

It must be close to 0300 in France- Anthony, don't you have to get up for
work in the morning?

Oh wait, I forgot, you don't work, either.

He posts at those hours fairly frequently.

Well, he is a self-employed full-time troll, if that counts.

The same reason there isn't just one printing of Shakespeare or Dickens.

No you have no experience in flying so you have no frame of reference to
say you enjoy it. As a matter of fact you have stated here many many
times that you don't like many if not most of the sensory inputs you
would have to put up with to fly.

So what you like to do is simulate flying and guess what? That activity
has its very own newsgroup.

Could somebody please explain to me why anybody responds to Mxsmanic's
messages? I killfiled him long ago, but I can't filter the responses to his
messages that clutter these forums.
