I do not speak any German, but if I ever get my hands on a time machine... we all will. :) In communicating, I have only ever been interested in ideas and relating them in a manner that they could be understood, which involved focusing on some interesting aspects and considering the other party to the conversation. One particular handicap that is hard for me to overcome is assuming others know what I know, and the other extreme is realizing how little curiosity and knowledge others have. In that context, grammar was not even on the horizon, and I don't know if I would be able to make my mind bend to apply it rigorously in practice. There is a certain level of skill that comes easily and naturally, and one would have to consider the value in exceeding this threshold. I was just trying to pressure BC into letting go of his ingrained views/excuses, and all in good fun. Peace:) don't do anything the rest of us wouldn't do:)
