You don't have to explain to me, thanks.

This thread is about vocabulary not grammar , and vocabulary it is not relate it only with words. Vocabulary relates to slang and expressions. However, My thread it is not about grammar or anything about rules.

Where is the rules in this thread anyway to make the test as grammar not vocabulary ??
