This is driving me crazy. I read your eloquent posts but itīs just hopeless for me to find the exact words that, put together in a sentence, expresses how I mean. Itīs like the verbal parallel of an elephant in a porcelain shop.

trust me Livi , i have to rack my brain constantly as well
especially with them americans on this board, keep in mind , that "debate class" is actually something that is tought in the US schools... never seen it in Europe... then there is the english class , many of em learned shakespear and other famous writers in school ... i just learned it from watching hte A-team and Happy Days with Fonzie...
