Thanks for clearing that up Dom. Of course, as confusing as this sounds to me i always have the greatest admiration for the members her who use English as their second language because as easy as it might come to me i know that it is indeed one of the most difficult languages to master.

Actually i took 4 years of German in high school. English is a less logical language with far more rules and exceptions to rules so i think in the end it is far more complex and confusing.
BTW, don't try testing my German. After 35 years of not using it after learning it i would be totally lost...
