Well, no need to be embarrased! You are doing fine! English is my language, but I did not take a lot of structured English classes in school. I ALWAYS feel inadequate because I do not speak or write with "proper" English. It is one thing about myself I wish to improve! I actually bought a book called Grammar For Dummies, and I could not understand what they were talking about!
This forum is full of knowledgeable people.
I did not have a particular person in mind.
