You mean "unless" ;-) ... and you you should not start a sentence with
that word.

Exactly, but not in a written form..
When you complained about other people's writing skills you exposed
yourself to criticism. Writing skills in these newsgroups are not the
most important thing, ideas, thoughts, suggestions are. I am an American
by birth (and so was my father and mother), but I was raised and
educated in another place where English is not the primary language.
When I came to the US to get a graduate degree I beat the hell out of my
classmates (intellectually), in spite of my less than perfect
(adequate?) English.. Lets stay with the ideas and leave the petty stuff
on the side.
