See why this is a contradiction of terms discretion and system used together?
I should have used my discretion in my spell checker on using TO below
instead of the correct usage two, but if I did I would have about three
other misspelled words. I think people and I'm one can't stand the trade
off from a pure system and there is always a trade off.
It's either are can't be both and be called the same thing is really all
I'm saying.
