I'm a Canadian Citizen, and from the replies seems that the explosion 
caused by my initial post, caused all kinds of unintended stuff. James 
was coming across, like he has some sort of Superiority Complex, making 
stabs at Nerds, so that's why I posted this, I've done a few things that 
might out shine being a Nerd. It's not easy being a Nerd, every few 
weeks someone else has something to prove, someone else turns your life 
upside down. I thought I was just a person, but then they come out with 
tl;dr. English writing is about the only thing I accell in now.

I'll try to keep it to things Ubuntu!
Alfred!
