Ah, nothing can beat that old combo of ranting and/or correcting someone on the Internet.
As an ESL person one of the first internet-related terms I learned was "flamewar".
EDIT: ESL -> English as a Second Language

ESL?
"English as a Second Language" would be my guess, but I've never seen that used as an abbreviation
It's a very common abbreviation for that
It's what they call (called?) the school programs in USA.

Sorry, edited for clarity.
PS: I learned that acronym less than a year ago, so maybe it is not as used as I thought.
It's pretty common, but I guess just for English people (or maybe just in Canada as hinted in another post?)? Either way I'm all for eliminating acronyms in public posts!

You’re likely thinking of TESOL, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. ESL is English as a Second Language.
