Hi Andrejs, thanks for your comments. I gather from what you wrote that English is not your first language. I don’t say that because your writing is bad. In fact, your writing is flawless. It seems you’re the voice of experience, an experienced English learner. If what I gather is correct, I’m glad to know you appreciate the content on this site. I’ll help all I can. Check back often.
