Yes, we all need some respect. I notice that you have edited your post all the same.

Julliana, bhaisahab is one of the most respected teachers in the forums. He is right and deserves respect and gratitude.

Juliana, you may or may not accept my advice, but please remember, in the life of a human being, three persons have the right to show the path to manner, behavior and dealing with others. First and second are the persons who give birth, that is one’s own father and mother and the third is the person who gives knowledge, that is the teacher.

Try to be more polite, "I would like an answer please" would be a good start.

If you look again at my post julianna, I think you will find that what I wrote was quite reasonable, I didn't accuse you of being impolite, I simply asked you to be more polite.:)

hey, first oblivious has two meanings , the first is some1 who is forgetful , forgets alot and the second is like everyone has said , lacking consciousness , unmindful
and for the second debate all what i can say is that you should have got her , she still a beginner as me and its either she doesnt know that we use the modal would for being nice or she just forgot about that and she thought using please indicates her niceness in asking , iam an english student at college and i my self sometimes forget using it and juts say please and that's why we aren't called natives because we make mistakes such a like without meanign them and we are here asking you gently to teach us , thank you
