mrpenney, surely "grammer" should have alerted you? Oh wait, you didn't notice that one...

I did notice it-did you notice I fixed that mistake in my redo? I also considered including the next sentence so as to amend "their exams" to "his or her exam," but didn't want VinnyD jumping down my throat about how that isn't a real mistake.

Technically, what #7 said is also valid.
Your correction is about the number of people ("fewer and fewer people").
The original is about the amount of knowledge ("I know less and less").
Same basic idea, different emphasis.

Hey, is this a travel site or an English Class? :-)

Omg. Seriously? You started this whole conversation because of a apostrophe?? I saw there were 17 answers and then half is just you guys? Ever heard of PM? And this is my second language, so please don't be such jerks about it.

But to the other guys who answered. I appreciate it very much. Thank you.

OP, this is an internet forum. Distractions happen. Take it easy.

Check if your ESTA is still valid, if not apply for again, book a room for the night you arrive, I know it
will be early in the US but being tired from a long flight it's good to know where you spend your first
night, put that adress in your ESTA application and on this piece of paper they give you in the plane,
then go as you please.

Please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes, if anybody wants to correct them please do so via
PM.

Heh, sorry OP for starting the grammar war with my post that was intended to mock whoever took issue with your misused apostrophe's. Have a great trip!
