I must confess that you’re the first person to tell that to me — English class was always a disaster! The only thing I can point to is practice: I have a blog here that I write at regularly.

This thread has been reported to us. I’ve temporarily made the decision to keep it (other mods; feel free to override).

I might apply for funding to research the real number that was stolen…
