If you cannot find anything wrong with phrases like "the 'regex' solutions 
fits perfectly", then you must be bli^Wborn Northern American.  Such people 
− unless they have studied English literature – are not really qualified to 
make a proper assessment of what is or is not proper English.  *Ain't* it 
so, *bro*?  You would be well-advised to learn your own language instead of 
misleading people into believing that they are "excellent" at it.

Then again, you are only an address-munging troll who has not contributed a 
single line of on-topic content to this newsgroup *at least* within the last 
two months, so nobody sane here should really care what you think.

Speaking of which, the OP is an address munger too, so unfortunately he must 
join you in my killfile.

Sometimes, what you learn is wrong. If those wrong ideas are close to the 
root of the knowledge tree you build on a particular subject, pruning the 
bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
