    This would help with my understanding of your issues.

    This may not be PC but this is a forum in the USA.

    Best Regards

        What I would love is if everyone posted the data in their profile.

        Cheers

        P.S.
        Not being proficient is not a problem, it's not understanding why may be
        a cause of agrivation...

          San Diego, CA, USA, English. I understand that sometimes the language barrier can be a small issue, but not something we can't work through.

            There's actually a field in the user profile... languages spoken. Feel free to use it. It's now part of the header above one's post.

                            Hey, Larry...well not quite...grew up in BC, all the family that is still alive and kicking are there, but after joining USAF and getting discharged at March AFB in southern CA decided to stay...now in northern California...had more of a midwestern vibe than the SoCal-LA mega-metropolis zoo.

                            I posted Calhoun County, because I still feel I was lucky to begin life with a good foundation of Michigan roots.

                              Ha! I grew up in southwestern Michigan as well... Though I use "soda" since I spent years living down in Indianapolis and then out in New Hampshire before moving back to northern Indiana just south of where I started. I did spend some time in the Bay Area, and you're right -- once you got into more rural northern California it seemed a lot more like the midwest. Or at least it did back in the 1980s...
