Well said. I think I agree with you after sleeping on it too. I just posted because this debate over a very small potential grammatical error wasn't really talking about the error anymore.

It at least follows the basic visual rules about vowels and consonants that are commonly known, that being no vowels beside vowels between words. Plus the command su has no formal spoken method, even though I think the majority of us would think 'es you'. I was trying to bring the discussion back to this. Sorry if I offended you, but I just thought this wasn't going anywhere. I finished reading your post and I now understand that you're irritated because you feel like your opinion is being shrugged off. Sorry if you feel that way, I was trying to go back on topic and probably shouldn't have posted when I was tired.
