Well, don't ignore your relatives too much longer. It's rude.

And don't worry, that rash you got last time wasn't from your dear Aunt Toothless . . . it was from the dog. To be on the safe side, avoid petting either on your next trip.

"How to English" was quite deliberate.

It's exactly the same kind of deliberately playful language as: "Oh, the ironing!"

Some people sarcastically say "...learning how to adult" or "I just can't adult right now."

Forcing these nouns to be verbs is done with sarcasm and/or levity.

You do know I knew that, right? Just like you knew "of" was a typo.
