no worries Jasong , i know my english is not perfect (but i don't really care as far as you understand me ).

so i will give some excuse:
  • english is my third language (after french and flemish)
  • i study english for only 4 years, 2 hours a week at school
  • i went to Florida for three month (more french people than american over there)
  • i usually speak english with non-english people (egyptian, asian, ...)
  • i don't care
  • i'm lazy

but i read it very well ... (did pass some exam in english in USA, even the driving and flying licence)

Compared to what, exactly? It seems to me that the only way to fail high school in the US is to drop out. It's a piece of cake to get a C or a D in a remedial class, even moderately retarded people can pass high school under the "No child left behind" laws. (If they are laws. I've never really wrapped my mind around that stuff)

well i had no problem a high school, nor at the university.

the biggest problem for me is that if i don't like what i study, i can't remember anything unless i work on it for hours and hours.

here is a small benchmark about studying one page.
lesson i like: 5 minutes of work
lesson i dislike : 5 hours of work
and my problem is that i dislike words, i prefer numbers.

the law "no one left behind" is maybe true in usa. in belgium it's more something like "no one left in front"
the final results are almost the same.

It will take another wek before i find the time to implement the changes to accept residues for WU that are not reserved yet.

Sorry but there are some more "real world" issues i have to work on before i can make those changes.
