It certainly wouldn't in YOUR case. Making a hole in YOUR skull would simply allow more of the cobwebs to blow out!!

Do you need more crayons? Should we send in nurse to tie your shoelaces?

English is not a very efficient language, it's the equivalent to BASIC programming. There is also a lot of ambiguity with the grammar.

The Spanish want everyone to learn their language.

So, why you have such an obsession with the German language, I don't know. Is it because the Daily Mail supported them at the start of the Second World War, or because the Queen's family are from there?
