Who's strategy was that?

Yours, apparently. You've brought up this frankly idiotic "is this board a front for the Republican Party" accusation several times.

I wonder why? Maybe if you keep repeating it, some folks will start to believe it?

well i have finished 4 years of Latin and the prospect of starting a new language is kind of unnerving.

Yeah, the tenses can be very difficult to learn because you really have to study and memorize it all, there are only a few shortcuts, but I still find English grammar even more difficult.
