@Catija surprisingly, in India, it's all valid if you ask 'cost' instead of 'price' for a 4K TV! Trust me, I just bought it! :) — Maulik V yesterday
In India, for some speakers: cost == price.
In India, for some speakers: work is always countable.
In India, English is so different.
> Enough material is here to learn the difference between 'cost' and 'price.
In India, material can learn things.
In India, English is so different.
(If the above assertions are too strong, please read them as of I wrote "Generally, in India, ...". That would make things right, because in India, adding "generally" to everything we say will make what we say correct -- don't you see, it's "generally"; I didn't say "always".)
I wonder if we can make a complete list of these differences, the difference between Indian English and standard English.
Maybe someone already did, or already started to make such a list, but I still doubt if we will ever be able to, because...
in India, English is so different.
Then again, maybe it's not that difficult to make a complete set of grammar rules of Indian English.
Because for some speakers of Indian English, if Grammarly says it is correct, it is correct.
So Grammarly must know a lot about Indian English.
But wait, things may be more complicated than that...
Because it seems like, in their minds, when Grammarly says it is correct, it is correct.
But when Grammarly says it's incorrect, it may not be incorrect.
In India, English is so different.
And anything is possible.
Just a random thought by a learner of standard English...
