Lol.  I hate English.  Always sucked at it... bad.  Other natural
languages are no problem, but in English there's more in the way of
exceptions than rules it seems.

I guess what I was trying to get at, is that people on the net more or
less "understand" what others are trying to say - even if it comes out
