Talking just for myself, I am a language user not a technician, but I do admire those people who have a deep understanding of the mechanics of a topic, in this case, the spoken English language or spoken languages in general.

What I mean is that I just use language but I don't know how it works. I heard something like this a while ago: "I can't explain how electricity works but I use it everyday."

I approach language from a communicative stand not a technical perspective.

I don't know if I made sense, did I ?
