I think this must be the only sentence I've written that you haven't needed to correct!

I think I'll stick to simple 'single idea' sentences like yours below. I should
make less mistakes and therefore get less despondent!

I am not sure about that last one. It is about a being capable of using language but the subject are
*his hands* which are not capable of using language. So I chose bIH instead of chaH.
One final query: Is my sig correct? I want to quote Descartes' famous "I think therfore I am".
