I didn't know this was English 101.  In any case, besides minding your own
P's and Q's, I'll let my reader do as it was intended and you should do
the same.  You may, at your descretion, use the 'next' key if you don't
like how my editor does the scripting.

 RW>> PS, Please clean up your english grammar.  The MCC suggests English
 RW>> 101 classes at your local 'adult education' facility, for moderators
 RW>> in need.
