Oh my dear, dear friend. You will find as you get to know me better that grammar is not just speaking to me! It is a passion! The English language is something I cherish! I used to be FAR worse when it came to correcting people here on this Board but I have mellowed. Besides, it is a lost cause around this place!

I'm just glad you haven't beaten me down about how I can sometimes abuse grammar and sentence structuring English, and all that goes with it, has never been my strong suit of the three R's, aRithmatic was more my thing, but even those lessons seem so long ago

Well, from what I recall that is its origin. Something to do with heart valves being called cochlea coris or something like that. They say that they resemble the shellfish, ergo you get "cockles of my heart". Now, that is our lesson for the day. If anyone is interested in a grammar or English lesson, I would be happy to oblige otherwise, on to other things! Ron, will you read the minutes from our last meeting please? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
