Genial brief and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
I have noticed for what it is worth, that here in the US, automobile commercials say "twenty ten" and not "two thousand ten" - and lo and behold, I find myself doing the same, despite having said "two thousand ten" back in January. Must have been that wonderful French wine...
