So far she's refused any requests when they've been made, and it puts an end to her petty games. This is most likely because she DOES understand, and a good faith effort at reading comprehension would demonstrate it, thus preventing her from derailing the conversation from the point made into meaningless semantics.

However, when you start throwing allegations around I expect you to provide some serious evidence in support of your contentions. What you produced was "feeble"."It ain't necessarily so
