Is there really such a theory?? Wow. I gotta go read up on it. I've always avoided using the word \"You\" in forums because that is usually seen as a direct challenge which evokes an equally direct response. Best way to start misunderstandings and quarrels. -

\"Have you done your homework?\"
\"Have you finished your laps in the pool?\"
\"Have you finished your food?\"
Repeated so many times, these are about as effective as using a hammer to drive in a screw. -

And try not to start your enlightening session with the \"dense one\" with the word \"you\", ie.
You: \"You know, you always use the word you when you start talking.\"
Him: \"You... what...???\"
You: \"There you go again! See... always say you...\"
And the war starts... :nailbite:
