PS: Especially don't do it as you also make grammar mistakes (ie. the relative pronoun "that" in your post concerning new account's owner is, while not completely wrong, still the most unsuitable choice as the sentence following it could be either defining or non-defining, which is why you would be better off using the relative pronoun "which", as relative pronoun "that" can not be used in defining sentences, while relative pronoun "which" can be used in both cases. If you had been going for a defining sentence, however, which I believe would be even more wrong as it does not really define the subject of talk and going for non-defining sentence would be a much better choice, meaning you would have to had used a relative pronoun "which" and put it in commas, you would have been better off to have omitted the relative pronoun as it can be omitted in this particular case).

Give me proof that English is not his first language and I will retract my statement. Until then, be quiet about that. As for your concern about relative pronouns, whatever bro but it looked alright to me. If you want to go all moderator on me then report the post. I don't particularly care to be honest.

On a further note though, I have a lot of respect for how people command their use of the English language, especially those who use it as a second language and demonstrate such capable abilities with it. You particularly. I find it amusing that people from outside of the UK often put people from the UK to shame where English is concerned, which is a sad reflection of our abysmal education system.

Have a wonderful day.

Edit - thanks though - I did a little test - http://bio-text.com/ThatWhichTest.html#anchor510798

I got 3 out of 4 so I will hold my hand up and admit that I need to brush up on my grammar. Been a long time since I was at school. Now, where's my walking stick.

i am american but what gives you the right to be god, kiss my bad spelling ass

Proof in the pudding there pal English is your first language and you fail miserably at it. Use your spell checker as Mr Blank points out. It takes only a matter of seconds and will absolutely improve not just others' ability to understand you but also your credibility as someone ever trying to put forward a point.

It's not difficult.
