Obviously you're a foreigner thats just jealous of Americans and try to find any tiny flaws in an Americans posting to bitch about to make yourself feel good in your poor 3rd world nation. Was that sentence too long?
American born and bred. Living in England now but as the language is meant to be the same I saw a valid point in bitching about your improper use. Anyway, it wasn't a bitch about you personally, it was a bitch about Americans in general who don't seem to retain anything they learned about spelling and grammar while at school. This is why I said 'When will PEOPLE learn', not 'When will Jim Manly learn'.

And yes, it was a run on sentence but I can be just as guilty of those as anyone else.

BTW, is it that important to you that you 'win'? If so, I willingly concede. Nothing worse than a sore loser.
