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.
