Sorry to harp again on your English but the first paragraph makes no sense! Forget the online “translators” they’re shite, get yourself an English-speaking friend or put some other effort into making your posts here legible. It may suck to you that English is the international language but same as “TIT” you can’t change it, better to master it.
