Dear YAdzy: what's one mistake or two among friends?
You are forgiven (this time for assuming too much wrongly)...:) :) I am forthright enough to say something... And will not pick on anybody's language..how would I like if my french friends picked on my french, eh? Although am somewhat punctilious to correct my students when we are sending grants for funding or papers to medical journals for publications... BUT that's not the issue on internet forums... PLEASE NEVER PUT WORDS IN WHAT I HAVE NOT WRITTEN... My mentor and My dad both used to say NEVER PRESUME WHAT OTHER IS THINKING.... good advice.. BE well See you here after 10 days... when my houseguests depart...
