Thank you very much. Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any response you find useful.

Note my corrections above. The convention when adding the source is to put the title first, either in italics or inside quotation marks, followed by the name(s) of the author(s).

I take it to mean that just about anyone in the world, looking at his face, would think that the position of his upper lip made him look like a monkey.
