Writing in English is not easy for me.
The English sentences I wrote were corrected by the free English correction software Grammarly, which pointed out many grammatical errors. I thought maybe I just didn't have the ability to write sentences in English.
Now that I'm 75 years old, I don't have much time left to relearn English, so I decided to improve my English writing environment.
I stopped using English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionaries and decided to use English dictionaries such as British English dictionaries and American English dictionaries, and I have collected about 80 different English dictionaries on Amazon. have collected not only a regular English dictionary, but also a thesaurus, collocation dictionary, English usage dictionary, and punctuation dictionary. I have also collected specialized dictionaries for philosophy, psychology, sociology, law, politics, history, et etera, so that I can correctly use the technical terms necessary for writing papers in English. When Grammarly points out my mistakes, I will correct my English sentences myself according to the suggestions.
Even Japanese scholars, researchers, and educators have misinterpreted the issue of Buraku discrimination in Japan due to insufficient analysis of historical materials. I could not imagine that Grammarly's experts would grasp the historical truth of the issue, so I decided to write about the issue of Buraku discrimination in Japan in English, at my own risk, despite my poor English skills.
