Well now your back into my problem with the English language. It doesn't follow its own flippin rules! It is very annoying.

Also, an interesting side note the 'e' at the end of my last name Charneskie was added by my Grandfather when he was in school so he would remember the 'i' before 'e' rule on spelling tests. When my father, aunts, and uncle were born he filled out their birth cerificates with the 'e' at the end.

OK, so I lied, it wasn't an interesting side note.
