Actually, "language immersion" is how practically all of us learned
English.  This "formal school" idea is a fad of a mere few centuries in
length; before that, most people spent more time thinking about shit
than they did about their letters.  Shit was, after all, an everyday
product of farming and livestock, while letters were merely a curious
affectation of the priesthood.  Larry's response regarding grammar
sounds a lot lot like how many engineers responded to the idea of
science and mathematics in the 19th century.  I confess, though, I
wonder how he decides when to use a semicolon instead of a comma.
