You’re welcome! Sorry to hear about your flu and internet connection probs. Hope everything is OK now.

Yes, governments are whacky – I think they do this on purpose to blur things. Confused people may still vote, whereas those with clear ideas may not…

All the best,

With coming down with the flu as well as having internet connection issues, I didn't get to this sooner. (Not to mention New York State's governor resigning in light of his prostitution excursions. Since I work for the state, a little nutsy here.) It's much clearer to me now, though still a bit whacky. Which government isn't?Cara Jo Alex -

I think I was trying to be apologetic – I do feel a bit bad about putting my teaching hat on here.

I love to see Italians like you post in English, and I don’t want to scare them away, but rather encourage them to comment.

Some people get all embarrassed about making mistakes and I suspect that a few do not comment for fear of making a ‘brutta figura’.

If I go about laying down the law and correcting right left and centre, this may stop people from attempting to comment, which would be a pity.

On the other hand, if people want to be corrected from time to time, then, if they think this may be useful, I will try to help.

All the best and buon weekend,

Alex

It seems that you are trying to apologize for the correction, but there’s really no need to. :D
