I'm very pleased to announce that I've constructed a helpful course that will benefit about 75% of the people on this forum!
Please read and review the following links:

I certainly hope that you've enjoyed yourself while taking my course, and that it benefits your overall interactions with anyone that speaks the language "English!"
Thanks!

TESTIMONIES:
I never knew I suffered from illiteracy until I took Phrozt's basic English course. Boy, I bet I sure feel like an idiot after I learned the difference between "there" and "they're!" Thanks Phrozt!

I didn't realize that "your" is actually the possesive form of "you," while "you're" is the contraction for "you are," which is what I was trying to express myself on an internet forum. I can now walk taller and more confident knowing that my views will be understood better by people who speak "English."

EDIT:
I just noticed this passage on the Basic Car Audio Electronics tutorial site (http://www.bcae1.com). You know, that site where the guy explains everything about car audio in great detail.
see?? It's not just me. Also, though one could argue the point that these are his guidelines for emails being sent to him, which are guidelines that might not apply to a public internet board, please consider the last part of the bolded point; "It's a shame that the email I get from outside the US has better grammar and sentence structure than the email I get from inside the US." It's your patriotic duty to show the rest of the world that we are not as dumb as the standardized tests prove, beyond a doubt, that we are! (That was sarcasm for you slow kids)

Email:If you email me for more specific information, Please do the following:
* Do a search to see if the question is answered on the site.
* Use proper grammar and punctuation (question marks). If you expect me to take time to answer your questions, the least you can do is make an effort to make the questions clear. Of course, if you're not from the 'states' and are not from a native english speaking country, just do your best. It's a shame that the email I get from outside the US has better grammar and sentence structure than the email I get from inside the US. :- (
* Leave a blank line between the end of one question and the beginning of the next question. It makes it easier to read. It also makes sure that I see all of the questions.
* If you email me multiple times and have a question about your system, list the equipment every time. I get a lot of email and can't always remember what you have.
