NOT A TEACHER
Hello, Shshoo:
I have been a member for a few years, so I would like to share a few ideas with you.
1. Please continue to be a member of this helpline.
2. This kind of question probably should be in the "Ask a Teacher" forum, which is devoted to grammar.
3. If you ask questions in the "Ask a Teacher" forum, it is possible that more members will see your question than will see your question in this "General Language Discussions" forum.
4. Please believe me: some of the members who answer questions in the "Ask a Teacher" forum are very patient, gentle, and respectful.
5. If you receive a reply that you deem to be rude, it is wiser NOT to say anything about it.
*****
I personally hope that you will follow the "rule" that some people follow.
1. Tom: Do you mind me asking you a question?
Mona: Yes, I do, for I do not like you.
2. Tom: Do you mind my asking you a question?
Mona: Of course, not. My job is to answer questions that are asked.
BEST WISHES
