Us (or is it we?

)ESL folks work VERY VERY hard to apply the rules we learned with this crazy, non-sensical, exception for everything, language.

They say English is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Speaking from experience...I CONCUR.

Thanks for the lessons though, I've found them extremely enlightening.

The use of the "non-word" irregardless really fires me up.

I was also going to add something about karma...i.e. good or bad karma. I always thought that Karma was always good. That there is no such thing as bad karma. Alas, as I clarify this with a Hindu collegue of mine she assures me that both exist. Schooled again
