Hello Steven,
Yeah to some degree it hurts to know that I cannot learn this very
illogical language after I have been in school for 10 years and then spent
as long time as you are old practising (incl of school). However, my
excuses are that the language is illogical. I fight the issue daily a
teenage daughter all American and a British wife. Do you think I hear about
my grammar. Youshould hear what they say about my accent:)
Good to have different opinions.
Best Regards ,
