I need help from someone who is from england

Since I'm Norwegain I have to ask.

I'm not trying to be (overly) sarcastic, but here goes:

Is your spelling and "sentence building" suffering from laziness or lack of knowledge?

I had to strain my 13 braincells to understand your post.

(And if you think you can avoid an answer by bashing my (possible) bad spelling or my use of less than idiomatic language; I'm allowed, I'm just an ignorant european)

I'd like to know.

So you're saying that basic spelling in your native tongue takes a conscious effort, and anger takes up enough of your cognitive resources to deny you the ability to spell properly?

I'll stop now.

They are stupid! They didn't post the amount in Indian currency, South African currency, Pesos, Canadian dollars.... dumb! Maybe, just maybe, they thought you might be able to do the conversion yourself. After all there are a LOT of different currencies in the world other than Euros and US dollars. Do the math.

ROFL

Jetb123 you are right...EVERYTHING in the whole world should be translated into US$ so that Americans don't have to work out exchange rates.  Afterall...America rules, not just the internet...but the WORLD.
