Leah, thanks for the tips. I usually attempt to be impeccable about grammar; however, the games all change when you're wrestling with the wonky keyboard of a public-access computer that believes there are only two digits between 0 and 9, and that the shift key is a state of mind.

And I really only try to down-talk people who down-talk me -- although, really, I shouldn't even be doing that. It's one of my New Year's resolutions. But the Talmud says that you should never levy criticism against someone unless they're on your level, and to say that I need "more than a little correction....[I] need a lot more learning" is a pretty harsh blanket statement, implying that the speaker is one on a higher plane than I am (and, Talmudically at least, that s/he shouldn't be criticizing me). That's all I meant. I apologize if it came off as more.

And don't worry, I'm not some creepy fetishist. I'm just conscious of being an outsider commenting on British society. Anything more fetishy, and I assure you it's born of your own imagination (not that I'm complaining).
