Well thank you. It is nice to be appreciated, although I do sometimes get confused, as in Dutch we often place words in an other sequence. like: "go to" and "to go".

You may mean my mannor of writing, ie style, well, I'm proud of that.
Or my correct use of words, etc. Not speaking correct english on a daily basis, but instead Dutch, does make it hard sometimes, looking for the correct words ans sentence construction. I do my best.

I can be rather articulative.
I lived in Australia from my 4 to 18 years of age, and returned to the Netherlands in 1973. So that is where I learned my english. Although I hadn't made much use of it all those years until now on this forum. So even for me I still have to think twice about some sentences.

Ps if I make gramma / language faults, don't hesitate to correct me.
A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.

PeterV, I've seen a few spelling/grammatical errors here and there but have glossed over them, as a slight contextual and syntax "confusions". The meaning is still obvious and, you put your arguments together with such skill and authority that it seems "nit picking" to pull you up on the errors. Furthermore, I have seen far far sloppier use of English from supposed native English speakers, especially on other forums, some that I have inadverdantly visited during web searches seem to be inhabited by illiterate, foul mouthed cretins so--- Skirt Cafe members, take a bow, we got brains DUH.
