Well mr allen already pointed out the point on your head concerning the fact the words false and pretense are ENGLISH words that you donot seem to understand. Now you said I should learn to speak ENGLISH, Which words did I use that you think are not defined in an ENGLISH dictionary. The fact you post with decent spelling and grammar does make it easy for me to see the stupidity of your reasoning with ease. But that does not compell me to tell you how stupid the ideas you post are using your concept of speaking ENGLISH. I always laugh when idiots revealed come back with a you ain't speaking English insult. LOL....
