How cute!
Sheldon, you are making a fool of yourself. Most of us don't pay too
much attention to the use of commas when posting. You will notice
that I do not resort to vulgar language or obscenities. I have taught
every science course offered in New York State schools. I hold
certification in Biology, Regents Earth Science, Physics and
Chemistry. That is why I notice the mistakes you make when discussing
anything dealing with science...Horsepower and electricity for
example.
Try to have a good day. Take your meds. Enjoy life. Please restrain
yourself frrom using obscene or vulgar language so much.
