So why teach English at all? People could just make it all up theirself.

You teach the currently relevant rules, vocabulary and literature while the students learn the rest through cultural osmosis. Like every one of us did.

Happy to help! And you can now say you learned about cultural osmosis through cultural osmosis!

Right and now everything I learned is obsolete.

But when you were learning it, it allowed you to better understand the world around you

it changed over time and you learned and changed with it
