No, I'm not hiding, I'm just busy.
I stand corrected vis a vis the spelling of mollusc. The spell checker on the site seems to like it with the K. However, I wasn't speaking of spelling so much as grammer, structure and word usage.
It bugged me at the time but I got over it. But hey, what does a guy with a 10th grade education know about Engrish anyweez. Actually, I think 9th grade is more accurate since I got tossed out of school in the 10th grade (9.5?)
I was taking grade 13 Computer Science at the time, does that count?
