No, Rap, I have not read The Confessions of St Augustine. Nor was I referring to any of those other people you mentioned. I am simply mystified as to how Shane's alleged conversion experience has suddenly given him such a good command of the English language. He has progressed from a Grade 2 spelling and grammar level to University level in a stunningly short period of time. The very fact that he used the term "pending", a term which Shane has never in his life used before or for that matter understood, makes this indisputable.
