    Well, obviously your version of English does not include proper punctuation, capitalization or sentence structure.

    P.S. The word English is a proper noun and is capitalized.

    have I got wires wrong
    Yes, about as wrong as your English

    I was making a point. I guess you missed it.
    It is such a shame how the education systems around the world have failed so many.
    Oh, and I am a smartass. But that one was easy to figure out.


    Care to try again? I'm sure there is someone here who can help you.
    Also put your location in your profile. I get the impression you are from outside the US or Canada. Codes and wiring practices are very different in other places.
