[@Voltus_Ventus]: Oh. It confused me because of the way you typed your post. [i]"I'm sorry for my absence but do tell, what has been done while I was gone -taking exams that will secure my future?"[/i] Should have typed: [i]"I'm sorry for my absence but do tell -- what has been done while I was gone? I've been taking exams that will secure my future."[/i] Even that wasn't that proper. The best way would've been [i]"I'm sorry for my absence. Do tell what has been done while I was gone. I was taking exams that will secure my future."[/i] You put two separate thoughts into one, making your first sentence some kind of statement-question hybrid. That's what threw me off, in addition to the "-taking exams that will secure my future?" part. Not sure if you were asking me about your exams which, if you were, you'd have lost me, as I can't tell you what you're doing with your life. I don't know you nor do I have control over you. Anyway, I'm picking apart your post. It's a long-winded way of saying it confused me.
