M4L, lol. My math is great, thank god. I was doing calculus in 5th grade. Anything less was unacceptable. Statistics are the worst for me though in all of the math subjects. Freaking MBA classes with loads of standard deviations were driving me nuts. Thank god that’s over with.
Snappy, I also pointed out she could have just did it online and she’d have not had to deal with it but she won’t. She’s still old school and doesn’t trust online shopping.

WTF you talking about? I’ve already established a long time ago, us immigrants got immunity to grammar and spelling errors as long as it “remotely close enough”. For math errors, we would have to take the punishment though

I will be at this location for a while. Present
I will meet you in a while. Future
Most people write “awhile” which is tecnically a mistake or selecism that has found its way into regular usage.
I think the use of “while” is lazy when one should be writing something more specific like “a short time.”
