My feeling is that "that" in this sentence is a conjunction functioning in the phrase "to the point that" in a similar way to how it functions in phrases like "so that" or "in order that." But I can't seem to find a reference to support this. But if this is the case, I don't know how to explain why "where" also seems to function in this sentence.

Instead of usual Tobira, Ive decided to follow Quartet books after finishing Genki, (mainly thanks to Tokini Andy having videos on them, they were really nice together with genki).

However there isnt a path for that here (yet?), so as im going through it i thought, why not post it for others as well?

Note that division into parts as well as names of grammar points are just straight from Andys videos and the names might simplify it too much sometimes, but its nicer to have some quick line about what it does without opening the grammar point first.


For a list of longer items or sentences, which follow on from an introductory sentence, each item should end with a semi colon and the final item should end with a full stop. Ensure that the tense and structure of each item work with the introductory sentence. The first letter of each point should not be capitalised (unless it is a proper noun).

For example:


I teach Japanese. Sometimes I teach from Genki. Sometimes Quartet. Sometimes, I free myself from the shackles of the textbook gods and create something unique, born out of the primordial chaos of... Yeah, you get the point.


Periods go at the end of declarative sentences, question marks go at the end of interrogative sentences, and exclamation points go at the end of exclamatory sentences. An exclamatory sentence is one that expresses a strong or forceful emotion, such as anger, surprise, or joy.


The challenge which PowerPoint poses is the need to reduce communication to its barest essence, to strip it of all which is superfluous. The bullet-point is almost the atom of ideas in that it cannot be further reduced without losing meaning. Retaining that meaning in the process is, of course, vital, and it is here where grammar has a real contribution to make.


The good news about the bullet-point is that it removes the need for virtually all punctuation. The idea is that if your bullet-point is long enough to need a comma, it is probably too long. Even a list of items which would traditionally have been separated by commas (items such as lists, recitations, inventories and roll-calls) is rendered not with commas, but with sub-bullets, thus:


"HSK 1" is the first level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK). There are 54 total HSK 1 grammar points in the list below. You may also want to see the CEFR levels for these HSK grammar points, or refer to our HSK 1 Standard Course textbook index page.


Is this not just opening the door to accept bad English? I have been noticing an insidious movement in schools where there is little emphasis on sentence structure, punctuation, good grammar. Call me old fashioned but it used to be important and I preferred that world. Hopefully there will be room for both.






Most people who make grammar/spellings do so inconsistently, so they'll introduce many bugs with mismatched naming. This is particularly problematic in languages that don't require variables to be explicitly declared before use, because you can introduce a new spelling and your code won't come to a grinding halt to let you know you screwed up.


Don't point them out as defects in a formal code review. Instead, mark up a listing and talk with him/her PRIVATELY about them. Be as diplomatic as possible about it, just "Hey, something I noticed, and I've run into people who REALLY look down on this kind of thing, they think it makes the programmer look careless and sloppy."


For the example you gave, I suspect it started out as UserHasPermission, and someone else told him that local practice was doesUserBlahBlah() rather than UserBlahBlah(), and he just overlooked the grammar change.


Hopefully you're in an environment where code "ownership" is not an issue. If you have access to the project in source control, just go in and fix it yourself. If you see a particular coworker making the same type of grammar or spelling errors consistently, you might want to point it out, but that will depend on your relationship, whether the person is a native English speaker, and their general receptiveness. But whether you ever decide to do that or not, just quietly go and make the fix. I do this all the time, if I see a typo, especially in a method signature or public property, I just fix it. Occasionally I can't even resist the temptation to fix a typo in a comment, but that's just me :)


I'm a developer whose native language isn't English, it's Dutch actually, and wouldn't mind at all if someone would point me a grammar or spelling mistake. In that way I can constantly keep improving my English. And it is certainly not difficult to correct all the mistakes in all of your source code. A simple Perl script can easily be written to loop thru all files in a folder. Perhaps even it can be done with sed? I don't know.


Just as a side note, if your function names are long enough to have grammar, they're probably too long. In the example given, I would call the function userHasPermission and move the "grammar" into your code, something like this:


Overall, everybody rated the fictional housemate applicants with typos and grammatical errors in their emails as worse than those with perfect spelling and grammar. But there were definitely certain personality types that judged the typo-riddled applicants more harshly.


More research is now needed to confirm these links, but for now, take comfort in the fact that typos can happen to everyone, but it takes a particular type of person to constantly point them out to you.


A paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and coherent, and are all related to a single topic. Almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. This is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus help the reader see the organization of the essay and grasp its main points.


Paragraphs can contain many different kinds of information. A paragraph could contain a series of brief examples or a single long illustration of a general point. It might describe a place, character, or process; narrate a series of events; compare or contrast two or more things; classify items into categories; or describe causes and effects. Regardless of the kind of information they contain, all paragraphs share certain characteristics. One of the most important of these is a topic sentence.


You can use most Unicode letters such as å and ü in identifiers. (For more details, see the lexical grammar reference.) You can also use Unicode escape sequences to represent characters in identifiers.


All learners, whatever their level, have questions and doubts about grammar as they're learning English. There is also a grammar reference which helps to explain the verb tenses and grammar rules in a clear and simple way.


Decide which area of grammar you need help with today and choose a grammar point to work on. When you do the interactive exercises, you can see how well you've done. By revising and practising your grammar you will increase your confidence in English and improve your language level.


Practise using grammar with your classmates in live group classes, get grammatical support from a personal tutor in one-to-one lessons or practise grammar by yourself at your own pace with a self-study course.


Back in 2001 we had "avoid exclamation marks" as guideline #26 out of the 117 design guidelines for homepage usability. Normally it is true that human nature doesn't change much from one decade to the next and user experience guidelines therefore also don't change much over the years. However, exclamation points are clearly an exception to this finding! As one of our recent test users said about a site that had been updated to modern design through both infinite scrolling and extensive exclamation points: "You can really tell how much these dudes love their site! So much content! So many exclamation points!!"


As with the previous usability guideline recommending against the use of 4 very s, it's also best to avoid !!!! Three exclamation points give the best combination of high impact and low cognitive load!!! (The guideline against using 5 or 6 exclamation points is even stronger, due to findings from perceptual psychology discussed further in the course on The Human Mind and Usability: the time taken to count the number of exclamation points to discern the clearly crucial distinction between !!!!! and !!!!!! sadly adds too much interaction cost to an otherwise subtle design element.)


The customEditors contribution point is how your extension tells VS Code about the custom editors that it provides. For example, VS Code needs to know what types of files your custom editor works with as well as how to identify your custom editor in any UI.


Contribute a new icon by ID, along with a default icon. The icon ID can then be used by the extension (or any other extensions that depend on the extension) anywhere a ThemeIcon can be used new ThemeIcon("iconId"), in Markdown strings ($(iconId)), and as icons in certain contribution points.


Action research (AR) and reflective thinking (RT) can enhance learning since both processes provide students with the opportunities to step back and think about how they actually solve problems. While there is a robust academic inquiry on reflection practices and AR in the educational setting, investigating learners' reflections through AR practices can shed more light on related research. This study implemented reflective journal writing through AR and aimed to investigate (1) the participants' views about reflective journal writing, (2) the effects of journal writing on RT development, and (3) the learners' grammar use in writing. Eighty language learners formed the two experimental and control groups of the study. The possible relationship between the RT level and participants' final exam was checked. Analyses of the participants' journals, the semi-structured interview, the questionnaires' results, and the final exam scores were considered. The findings showed that the participants had positive views about journal writing, and they could enhance their level of RT as well as their grammar use in writing; nevertheless, no relationship between the RT level and final exam scores of the participants was found. The methodology and the results of the study could be conducive to welcoming alternative methods of teaching and assessment that encourage the learners' reflective practices and active engagements in language classes.
