I was talking to someone and this '3 months' thing came into play I was asked how long learning? I don't know how to distinguish 3 months, and March. (same with days as well as months) Is there a word placed in the middle, like with 3 people? sorry again basics! but I can't seem to work this out, and not in films 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You absolutely can, just remember that new threads are free, and if you have a new question unrelated to a previous thread, you'll see a better response if you start a new thread. With that in mind, I've split this off from the "Introduce Yourself" topic, because it has nothing to do with introducing yourself @TaxiAsh, P.S. with regards to your question in the other thread about quoting, just highlight the text you'd like to quote and a button should popup saying "Quote selection". Click that, and the text will be inserted as a quote in the reply field. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
