Languages are taught by authoritative dictionaries
(after people, and
ahead of almost all other similar reference books.)
... Yeah, and building an authoritative dictionary is considerably harder
than building a (de facto) authoritative encyclopedia. Despite, I have
enormous respect for Wiktionary, and great (great!) hopes about Lexical
Wikidata.
Wiktionary has multiple teaching functions whether we
want it to or
not:

Why not :)
Amir, you know it would not be losing focus because of
what you said
in your talk at

Um... thanks for the publicity :)
But no, that's not what I said. I was not trying to say that everybody
should learn English. The point I was trying to make there is that knowing
English is a privilege and that it is easy to not notice it. Of course, if
that point didn't come through, it's my fault.
