No, Greg - I'm not trying to be obnoxious for obnoxious' sake - are you? What part of the definition of the word "by" to you not understand? Have you looked the word up in a dictionary? Have you imagined yourself in a situation where you were standing in front of a clock, and someone said to you, "adjust that clock by 30 minutes, Greg." Are you telling me that you would turn to this person, and say, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand what that means... do you mean change the time from 12:00 to 12:30, or do you mean change the clock by a tiny amount?" What part of that do you not understand, Greg? Huh? I'd really like for you to explain the source of your confusion to the entire friggin' world here. Were you sick that day when the teacher went over this? Now, that said - i want you to leave me the f**k alone, and go somewhere else to get your English lessons. Jay
