Okay, gang...here is a review of a subject near and dear to my heart, the English language. Fortunately, I have access to several Catholic school educated people. We must admit those of us public school educated are squishy in regard to parts of speech and how/when they are implemented.

Because of a lack of training in this regard many Americans do so poorly in learning a foreign language. There is that and the attitude that Americans fully expect others to learn American English.
