As a German, I'm not a native speaker; however I do have a keen interest in the English language, is etymology and especially its similarities and differences to my own language.
I consider myself a fairly advanced learner with English. A lot better than most English native speakers are with German, anyway. ;-) However, I'm always looking for more to learn.

“sick” or “ill”? Yes, that also explains usages like ill-formed or ill-advised. |

Where does “to make out” come from? @ShreevatsaR: I know pretty well how these sites work. :) However, I had a feeling that it would not get much better than this. Some phrases just cannot be fully explained. |

Where does “to make out” come from? I guess that means a fully logical explanation of the phrase does not really exist. Too bad. |
