What is there to read? Those are written for ESLs.

English is a simplified language by itself, it's the only European language not having genders for nouns and adjectives, let alone their inflections. It's closer to Mandarin than to Latin in this regard.

Grammar tricks don't exist either, I'm on page 100 of a fiction book and there was one instance of "had had" construction. Writers prefer to make dictionary look-ups to impress readers.

I've noticed that as of late "had had", very silly and weird.
