  1. "The more you know, the more you know you don't know" is a meaningful proverb. People often say the less your knowledge is, the smaller your dream is. As we learn more things, we realize that there are so many things we don't know. I sometimes feel flooded with knowledge, both academic and social.

  2. Thank you for including the correct form of "walk the walk"; so often it's abbreviated to "walk the talk," which of course is meaningless!

  3. Hi Randall, just to say thank you for blogging about the English language. I need all the help I can get and this blog is definitely useful in my effort to brush up my English.

    I've been trying to learn English on my own using all the free resources available online.

    I guess "the best things in life are free" after all.
