Thanks, Mister.

There are several reasons that I'd rather post my questions here than consult a dictionary though I do look words up now and again. One is that the explanations in it are sometimes out of date and we (non-nativers) can never tell. Another is that I'd like to interact with native speakers here so that I may try out and reorganize those words and phrases over and over again. There are numerous good points in posting here, and I want to mention just one last more. That is, you're kind helpful human beings, who are like living dictionaries and often give me something which I can't learn from dictionaries.
