It has happened to me a lot in this forum. I asked a question. Some native speakers commented on my post. And don't get me wrong, I really appreciate it.

But sometimes, the helpers give contradictory advice, and more often than not, they don't work together to arrive at a final conclusion. They just leave it there for us learners to wonder what we should do. Certainly, we're not capable of that.

So what do we do in this kind of situation?

P.S. I've had an account here before, so this post isn't only based on some posts from this account.

P.S. Here's an example of native speakers giving me a lot of different advice.  [https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/350170/their-or-its-counterparts][1]
