Self Taught

It is a term often used by myself and many people I know. I have recently decided to take up playing the piano again (played it for  about 6 months when I was 6 years old!). I ordered a digital piano online and immediately purchased some E-books to facilitate. I then contemplated whether I should invest in some lessons or just teach myself for less money. It then occurred to me how ridiculous this term was.

It is physically impossible to teach oneself. If you read a book about it, you LEARNED it from a physical source. If you watch a video, you learned it from the people who made the video. The list goes on.

I have therefore decided to ban this term. Up to here and no further. It must be destroyed. Or just forgotten.
