English is a very difficult language. I think that it can be perfected, but never mastered. The difficulty of the language itself is made even more so by the fact that it evolves constantly and borrows from other languages as well. Today's slang will be listed in the dictionary ten years from now as acceptable usage, even though in its current use may be somewhat incorrect or bastardized. Those who can figure it out can do some wonderful things with it, though. Thank you both for the kind words.
