Hey, Mike. Are you really a vet? If I had not checked your profile, I would have believed that you were a graduate in English education or the like and had been involved in the area for a long time.
Yes, I am really a vet. I love English, but I love animals even more. Grammar cannot lick your face.

I was very fortunate to receive a great education in English and English grammar in elementary school and high school. Except for a couple of courses in college, I have not studied English since.

Let me call you my "sensei".

You are the best!

(P.S I was almost giving you the "mean well" example. Hmm..."well" as a noun. Interesting!)
I am honored. I like "sensei"; I may change to it from Pope.

The "mean well" sense is interesting, isn't it?
