English for Special Purposes
Misguided page relating to an editor's personal experience. Bordering on a speedy delete. &mdash; Itai (talk) 02:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, personal experiences - not an article. And I think that if this user was teaching English they'd know how to use capital letters too, so I'm not even sure if that part is true. - Mgm|(talk) 14:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to English as an additional language. FreplySpang (talk) 20:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: there is in fact such a field as English for Special Purposes, or, more common recently, English for Specific Purposes (Google:, and see here: ). It's a legitimate academic field, with degree programs and peer-reviewed journals and the whole thing. It's not a "personal variation on ESL", nor is it the same as EAL, but it is related. That said, this article is worthless. It would be good to have an article on ESP, but this is not it. rodii 00:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete so many reasons to delete I can't pick just one. (original research, not encyclopedic, probably untrue, etc. etc. etc.). --Bachrach44 03:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete personal anecdote. *Dan T.* 05:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
