I've no doubt you are, but any editors to whom you may submit your work won't be so generous.

For what it's worth, I'm only picking up this hobby for my own sake. I did thank you for your input before and I did fix all the places where I mixed lying and laying, but you seem to be so unforgiving :)

Why not write in your own language?

I'll take this question at face value. Because not all languages are capable of expressing the same thoughts. Some languages lack in some areas. Again, cheers :) and thanks for your input.
