    For real, you made it sound so easy! My professor at the Uni made me believe this is just a bunch of nonsense, and now I myself am solving what once seemed impossible! Thank you!

      You're not late dear. I am 60 years old. I learned and remember English class where I grew up. Which was blessed, I know. I went to an English paroquial High School. People nowadays aren't taught proper English language so the older you are the better your chances are that you were taught to speak proper English! I am of the opinion that it is sadly a dying language. This video and the man, David-Wynn Miller who is no longer with us left us with a profound description of proper syntax language which is a most profound legacy. He is not with us anymore but I feel blessed to have seen what he is about and it you watch his video, you will learn what a person with his ability can accomplish. That is if we the people get enlightened. Applied knowledge is power. Knowledge in and of itself isn't. Do you understand what I am saying? I pray that you do! Itso powerful It can actually stop a war. Be sure to watch David-Wynn Miller's video, because if we follow his truth we empower ourselves and the more who do the more powerful we become. There is strength in numbers in more ways than one. I hope you are able to get something out of thisand pray that you ca. May God bless you and yours and keep you in truth and light because the smallest amount of light can illuminate darkness! In Jesus' holy name I pray Amen, amen amen. Amen = So be it! Sincerely
      Gina
