@userr2684291 Ah, what I meant was that I never really got good formal education in the language, and learnt most of it from the internet.

@rahuldottech You don't seem to have an active ELL account. From your writing here, it seems your English is pretty good. :)

Oh @ColleenV Hi, remember I was saying how one user did not ever accept answers, I did gently point this out to him, as you suggested, in a comment and now he seems to be accepting answers. Also, J.R. followed my comment up with a comment of their own. So I guess it was worth the effort. :D

Hey guys
I am thinking of answering a question

Q: What is the difference in meaning between "be going to be doing something" and "will be doing something"?

Dmytro O'HopeIs there any difference in meaning between be going to be doing and will be doing? For example: I can't go to the party as I am going to be working on my project? I can't go to the party as I will be working on my project. Does the first sentence imply that the speaker had more agency ...

Q: "going to" vs "will"

Manoel GaldinoI know several questions were asked about the difference between "going to" and "will". Based on several answers (see, for instance, here, here and here), I understood that "will" is more spontaneous and "going to" is used with more planned actions. So, it seems that everything is pretty fine. H...

@AIQ That you don't just go ahead and post it, and contemplate and do your research and stuff shows that you're probably well in the way of posting great answers. Common reference material (maybe, I dunno, I don't hang around often anymore) would be CGEL, Swan's Practical English Usage, a few corpora (but you'd need some search fu for that), Google Ngrams, and SE posts on ELU
If you care enough, you will post high quality answers, and although FGITW is the fastest way to build up rep and they will be pretty annoying, you would eventually build up trust and rep
