No way, Jose ..........it must be "complement" vs. "compliment" on this forum.....strangely enough, it is not Europeans who screw that up......it is them native speakers of English (ir)regardless of their education level, because spoken N. American English is highly garbled up and approximate....a perfect phonetic trap.

Well, because of my regional accent, I accept the fact that it's hard for me even to hear the difference between "pen" and "pin," and much harder to pronounce the difference (although I do successfully refrain from turning either into a two-syllable word). Even I, however, can always hear and even pronounce the difference between "compliment" and "complement." I suspect the actual reason it's used incorrectly in writing is because people don't know the difference, not because they can't pronounce it.
My daughter's eighth-grade English teacher told her class--very seriously--that comma placement depended upon where you took a breath in the sentence.

Is spoken British English any better? I was listening to some old Beatles music the other day, and I had to listen to "I saw a film today, oh boy" being sung by John Lennon as "I soar a film today" -- or maybe it was "I sore a film today."
1. Sell lens A and B with camera c to get camera X
2. Keep lens A, sell B and camera c then save up for 2 years for camera X
3. Sell camera c, keep B and sell A, sell my bike and get the camera X"
then later chimes in the thread with a completely different camera purchase. Those threads should be marked as 'Wishy washy camera purchase fantasies' so people dont need to waste time and bandwidth on them
oh yeah, and paranoid people that think that a camera manufacture have personal vendettas against their own customer base

This is a corollary of the people who believe that the choices they want are entitlements, denied only out of manufacture's sheer malice and/or market stupidity.

I'm good with three; M, Av and Tv. I get confused when I have to add the AF setup options...
M and Av for me too. In fact, since most of my shooting is done in M mode, it takes me some time to start using the dials correctly in the Av mode.
I usually have no time for complex camera operations on the fly, the simpler the better.
Auto ISO, highlite priority, safety shift etc......I have no use for any of that.
