Hopefully this won't get me banned. I taught school school for many years and if a student asked me a question and I replied "I already answered that go look it up", I would have been fired rather quickly. People learn in different ways and I needed to to explain in ways they best understood. And I learned never to assume I explained everything the first time. Some students needed to ask questions to "get it right". Some students even asked questions that when answered helped clarify my original teaching. Some students asked questions i didn't cover at first. Sometimes what I first said was confusing or incomplete, imagine that! I also considered it my job to explain what a book said, even if what it said was complete.

Let's say you're teaching high school English.
Each day a different student asks you where to find "cat" in the dictionary multiple times a day.
How long until you start drinking before you brush your teeth in the morning?

Go back to school and learn to make proper sentences, with correct punctuation. And then figure out how to complete your thoughts. As already mentioned, there was no "suggestions" made in your posts. Just rambling.
 
It's easy to imagine that what you say is confusing or incomplete since the title of you post says "maybe a suggestion" but your post contains no suggestion.
My suggestion was implied by the title. I intentionally wrote it that way to attempt to not direct a suggestion to anyone in particular. But I apologize for the post. I didn't realize the answers I received would be so similar in tone to those people posting on yahoo Mail. I'll have to look elsewhere for any information other than insults.
