I don't know what _you're_ complaining about! YOU ASKED A QUESTION (see first line of post). Now you complain when people answer your question _accurately_? If you don't want to know what's wrong with your English, DON'T ASK!!! >: > Yea thats right. MY language is "American" English. not English. Unfortunately, I've known a quite a few people for whom English is a second language and who speak far better _American_ English than many Americans. Some of them have never even been to America, either. What _you_ call "American" English is a disgrace. Sort of a white version of "Ebonics" is my guess. "Ivonics", perhaps? Larry
