Fair enough, but the point still stands that if you are not a native speaker and not going through grammar school (I'm sure the place I wrote that rule in my grade 9 notes has been blurred out by a puddle of drool at some point) these rules become quite overbearing.

Personally I learned all this by reading several thousand pages per year when I was younger. It just kind of filtered in.

Okay, Im being a troll, sorry Mike. I should just shut up and let the knowledgeable people talk.
