Hey, actually, this isn't half bad... it reads a little better. No hard feelings.<BR/><BR/>I love starting sentences with conjunctions, and I freely end sentences with prepositions (when appropriate, or when writing casually). And for bringing that up, you get my <I>Grammarer of the Day</I> award that I just made up.

I am guessing someone tried to smuggle them out. And did you know that some of the grammar rules change and you CAN end a sentence with a preposition and you CAN start a sentence with and. <BR/><BR/>Gosh, LD, you make me want to be a better grammarer. And thank you for that.
