>every post I make I work on the sentence construction and words so that it "fits in" better.

Avy, I must say that this statement has me bemused. "fits in" with what? the queen's english? aussie english? kiwi english? canadian english, eh? american english?? (heaven forfend) english as spoken by italians... or spaniards... or?

I haven't been paying close attention to your roots (and your bio is starkly unhelpful ;) and they certainly don't come across as obvious, which says something about your success in fitting in I guess.

all I can add is "phooey" to fitting in.
