It is easy to underestimate the negative effect that type of awkward phrasing can have on the reader. Paying attention to these sorts of details could really turn things around here for you. Not that I am suggesting that you want to turn them around or that they should be turned around ...........
Why flower, how sweet of you to remind me that you put me thru the paces with my sentence structure. YOu are my very own little blue book
