Hi again, Dallas!  Recently you wrote in a message to Antonio Hernandez:

AHL> practique speak english with yours.
DH>  |practise speaking English with you.

                             ...

DH>  You used what I think is the Spanish word "practique"
DH>  rather than the English "practice"; this then caused
DH>  you to use the wrong tense of "speak" instead of
DH>  "speaking". "Yours" is just the wrong word - you need
DH>  to use "you" instead.


         Right word, wrong inflection.

         He could be practising the Queen's English or practising English with
the Queen, but either way we're referring to the same individual... [chuckle].


P.S.

         Hi & welcome, Antonio....  :-)
