hope it will help me get out of a redundant English class

JazzO, dear heart: Don't be so quick to dismiss those classes! OK I saw "redundant" but...
When I was editing newspapers I went to two English professors at least once a month and we went through all the papers I had edited the previous month and they pointed out errors and we had great discussions on English grammar etc.
You're never to old to learn something new or be reminded that something that you'd gotten into the habit of thinking of as correct is really not, but rather is a slipshod usage!
