Yeah, I'm a real control freak too, and have this annoying tendency to always think I know best.
Guess what . . . I don't!
Bingo! (That's me exactly)
My mom reminded me that when I was in 4th grade, she got called in for a conference with my teacher. Apparently, little Puppy was taking it upon himself -- whenever the teacher would teach the class a grammar rule in English -- to point out THE EXCEPTION(S) TO THE RULE.
God, I must have been an annoying little smartazz, LOL.
