Andrist When people who can't speak English well come up with sentences like that, sometimes you have to look at the sentence for a while before it starts to sink in. I spent a lots of time working for bosses that came from other countries originally, and I found that you can't interupt what they're saying to say with "WHAT??" all the time, what you have to do is listen to there other sentences and sort of connect things up in you mind. What they'd generally do is say something in one sentence, and then since I'd be standing there looking like I didn't understand them completely, then they'd elaborate, so then you'd start connecting thing and starting to understand. "I wonder me" along with whatever else he was saying would probably make more sence. Pete
