    This whole English thing is the reason we American's don't know any other languages. All the others have actual rules that you follow all of the time. In English our rules are more like guidelines. We follow them most of the time, except for all the exceptions. It takes more than a lifetime to master such a complex and loose set of rules. We just don't have time to learn another language, and we would hate to realize that the other languages make far more sense than our own. :hehe:

    It's not yours - it's ours! We don't even charge rent!
