Once upon a time there was a city called ELT. The people of ELT led a comfortable,if not extravagant,life,pursuing the noble goats of literature and grammar. There were differences, of course some people preferred to call themselves EFL people, while others belonged to a group known as ESL. But the two groups lived in easy tolerance of each others,more united than disunited.
Now it happened that the city was surrounded by high mountains and legend had it that the land beyond the mountains was inhabited by illiterate and savage tribes called Scientists, Businessman and Engineers. Few people from ELT had ever ventured into that land. Then things began to change. Some of the people in ELT became restless. The old city could not support its growing population and eventually some brave souls set off to seek their fortune in the landbeyond the mountains. many in ELT were shocked at the prospects. It was surely no place for people brought up into gentle landsscape of English literature and language.
