La enseñanza convencional del idioma inglés carece del entendimiento de conceptos esenciales sobre la forma en que está estructurado y el uso razonado de sus componentes básicos. Al desconocer la razon de utilizar dichos conceptos se cae en el uso mecanizado del idioma, lleva a considerar como valido que existan conceptos producto de la costumbre, un "porque asi se usa", sin una razon logica. Esta manipulacion carente de bases impide poder dar respuesta a preguntas importantes tales como:- ¿Que es la Expresion Basica?- ¿Cual es la consecuencia de una variacion a la Expresion Basica?- Los MODALES, ¿son verbos?- ¿Tiene un significado el auxiliar To Do utilizado en la formacion de preguntas y negaciones?- ¿Que elementos forman la Seccion del Verbo?- ¿A que se refieren los conceptos de Sentido y Situacion gramaticales?- ¿Por que despues de un Modal la accion se indica sin tiempo gramatical (en infinitivo)?- ¿Que relacion tienen los verbos auxiliares con el concepto de situacion gramatical?- ¿Cuantas preguntas pueden formularse en el idioma ingles?Si no se tienen las bases para poder contestar a este tipo de preguntas que son basicas para el manejo del idioma y las que son utilizadas solamente se utilizan "porque si", el resultado forzosamente lleva a un pobre grado de dominio del idioma. En este Tratado de Estructura Gramatical TANFACIL, sin necesidad de profundizar en una maraña de reglas gramaticales dificiles de entender y, sobretodo, de recordar en el momento de tenerlas que aplicar, se podran encontrar las bases requeridas para contestar estas y muchas otras preguntas mas en una forma facil, ligera, rapida y amena que convierte a la tan temida gramatica en algo por demas sencillo de entender y de aplicar.

The history of Irish Travellers is not analogous to that of the 'tinker', a Europe-wide underworld fantasy created by sixteenth-century British and continental Rogue Literature that came to be seen as an Irish character alone as English became dominant in Ireland. By the Revival, the tinker represented bohemian, pre-Celtic aboriginality, functioning as the cultural nationalist counter to the Victorian Gypsy mania. Long misunderstood as a portrayal of actual Travellers, J.M. Synge's influential The Tinker's Wedding was pivotal to this 'Irishing' of the tinker, even as it acknowledged that figure's cosmopolitan textual roots. Synge's empathetic depiction is closely examined, as are the many subsequent representations that looked to him as a model to subvert or emulate. In contrast to their Revival-era romanticization, post-independence writing portrayed tinkers as alien interlopers, while contemporaneous Unionists labelled them a contaminant from the hostile South. However, after Travellers politicized in the 1960s, more even-handed depictions heralded a querying of the 'tinker' fantasy that has shaped contemporary screen and literary representations of Travellers and has prompted Traveller writers to transubstantiate Otherness into the empowering rhetoric of ethnic difference. Though its Irish equivalent has oscillated between idealization and demonization, US racial history facilitates the cinematic figuring of the Irish-American Traveler as lovable 'white trash' rogue. This process is informed by the mythology of a population with whom Travelers are allied in the white American imagination, the Scots-Irish (Ulster-Scots). In short, the 'tinker' is much more central to Irish, Northern Irish and even Irish-American identity than is currently recognised.
