I never liked the idea of having two sites in the first place, but I'm just trying to come up with a solution for the problem stated in this question. You can't have a site named something generic like "English L&U" and yet try to restrict it just to "linguists, etymologists, and (serious) English language enthusiasts". | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 17:27 | comment | added | Jason C | If the site is renamed but ELL is not renamed, I claim that friction will be increased here as I believe "English is my first language, so ELL is not for me either" replies will become common. Do you feel this is an issue and if so, is this not just a slightly different form of the same original problem of having to explain something (just a different something in this case) over and over again on undesirable questions? | |
| Dec 16, 2015 at 16:53 | comment | added | Lynn | @AndrewLeach Yes, it's been suggested multiple times and I've upvoted every one I've seen. Sadly, it hasn't ever gotten enough traction to become reality. | |
