There is no attempt here at being a smart ass...

You were very clear on your position in that post, and to try to blame it on people not "knowing" you, is not being very honest.
Either you believe what you first posted, or maybe you should have proof read what you wrote before hitting submit. Maybe you'll be better at reading comprehension.

I already stated I am not the best at communicating via the written language which is why I pointed that out myself and therefore tried to explain further.

That explanation has been met with nothing but snideness from you and PT, Tim.

I did not try to blame anyone for not knowing me until they didn't bother to take my explanation into consideration.

And I do believe what I first posted.

Snideness? Excuse me but I was not being snide at all. I didn't understand how you could say something and then, when pointed out as being wrong, claim to mean something completely different.

Face it Grace. You screwed up.

I didn't claim anything completely different, I still stand by my first post. My further posts were just for elaboration.

Grace:
If you want to look at it as a mistake instead of exactly how I explained - enjoy your perception.

I can operate just fine in my weakness. You choosing to ignore my explanation is not on me.

F... dude, even if she did, why is it such a big deal? Have you never said anything that didn't come out exactly like you intended? I'm thinking all the time here recently.

She tried to set the record straight about it before all this, but you guys have your claws out now and won't let go of it.

Get over it already.

Grace, you do not need to apologize for your writing/communicating skills. You do quite ok, so stop selling yourself short.

You did clarify what you said to no avail. You could clarify from now to kingdom come it still would make no difference to those who refuse to see different from what they want to see.

So please stop with the apologizing.

Thanks Cool Breeze.

I did know that most here understood exactly what I was stating, but I was trying to offer an olive branch to the ones that didn't by offering further explanation. I should know better by now.

France did what was best for France. How much do you know about the direct aid they sent, and when they sent it? You're an American History major correct?

Yes, and without their navy we'd be fucked. Their navy trapped Cornwallis's soldiers at Yorktown , preventing them from sending Brits to New York. Also, you probably know how desperate we were for new arms and ammunition, the French sent those as well, clothing too.

Oh, and money to keep the then young government that was hanging on a thread together. The French also paid for the American soldier's wages. If the money wasn't there, Its not going far to say that the army would have disbanded over time and the revolution would have been a disaster.

At the battle of Yorktown, Washington's continental army was made up of around 15,000 French troops.

It's ironic how today France looks down on America yet they played a crucial role in its creation. :p
