00In addition, I and I think other people on the Forum are getting tired of simply correcting lots of very similar sentences. I feel like I have corrected hundreds! 02br

0I do not understand why you didn't change "Grandfather" to "grandfather" I'd be happy to receive your explanation. 05002br

(I think I've heard people talking about cutting herbs, but they literally use a scissors for that.)0-
