I can't cos I have a memory like an elephant for some things. My brain works in a weird way, I am dyslexic. I can not remember the alphabet or the months of the year in order, but some other things I read slowly they stick like glue, it's weird. I can't remember where I read this stuff but I did not cut it and paste it the first time, it actually took me ages to write it down but I did cut it and paste the second time around it was easier. I am not trying to show off or anything it's just the way I am.
