When I first brought this up, that answer seemed to be the consensus, so 
I gave it a go. Now I don't know what to do. If there's a better way,

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be 
"profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I could 
care less.

I won't get into specifics because that was between he and I
