I "may" agree with you - in part, but we all know thats not going to happen!
It is a matter of human nature.

Second thing. English has to go first.

I'm alomost 69 years old and have forgotten most of what I learned in college.
But I still remember what I learned in High School ... how to copy Morse code.

I still remember what I learned in grade school ... how to ride a two wheel
bicycle.

Now, if I could only remember that name of the woman I've live with for the past
43 years ...........

that you're retarded.
