I would like to have given this a higher rating than 3 stars, however, you seem to be one of an increasingly large number of American writers, all making the same mistake in your writing.

<br><br>

You write, <i>"couple cars",</i> and in the very next paragraph, <i>"couple minutes"</i>. Take a look at those words as they stand on their own. See anything wrong?

<br><br>

That's right, you've left something out. You should have "couple of cars" and "couple of minutes". Were you to submit something like that to a publisher, you would never hear the end of it! You'd be back in Nevada, tail between your legs, and they'd still be laughing.

English isn't really that difficult a language, but simple, lazy mistakes such as these are making it more difficult than it should be.
