Of course I've learned to read. In fact, I've learned to read more than English only. I recommend the experience (but not the xperience).

Well that is great for you, I have a hole in my head where languages go, although I can count to ten in Thai and Hebrew, having lived in both places for years. Pathetic, eh. Anyway, I did use a comma, of course, too many comma's, for usual usage, but I did put a comma before etcetera, although I see it is sometimes split into et and cetera, et cetera, not sure which usage is more correct, but maybe I do use too many commas🙂

No, I didn't live in Hebrew, I think you know that was Israel. Just in case anyone jumps on that particular bandwagonwidth.
