    When I have a doubt I like to see all variations in order
to understand their meanings. Sometimes a small problem for one
is a big for other. It's quite difficult to explain the obvious.
After we solve the problem, it becomes easier to understand
and we start to use the words and expressions correctly.

    Yes..after post the msg I noticed that.

    May be. The more we learn the more we find problems.
This is the process of learning.
