Gotcha. Thanks. :D

About quoting, start by highlighting the text you want to quote then click on the Quote button above. After you do that the quotation will look like this,
Code:
[quote="Casiopea"] blah-blah-blah. [/quote]
. :D

Hope that helps.

Oh, and also, if you want to drop in a link, such as, say, Google, highlight the link then click on the URL button above. After you do that the link should look like this, Next, replace the second square bracket of [url] with the symbol =, like this,
Code:
[url]www becomes [url=www
Then add a closing square bracket at the end of the address, after the last 'blah', and write in your link word(s), like this,
Code:
[url=www.htttp/blah-blah-blah]Source[/url]

Thanks. I'll have to keep the quote button in mind. I find remembering things like this to be helpful.

Know what I mean? That's how I find it. :D :P

Default Thanks a lot...but...

Hi,

I have an additional question...

You said :1) is grammatically OK and not uncommon in the spoken language

Others said that "found" is followed by a gerund.

Could you explain "grammatically OK" in details?

Best regards...
