@Jaqen,
I don't know how "smart" he may think he is, but it appears to me that he thinks he's clever. He's also a bully, to the extent that he can get away with it. It's gotten so that almost no one here talks to him, because he would start threads on a number of topics, and not getting the response he wanted, 'he'd start new threads on the same topics. He haunts the English learners' threads now because it's about the only venue for him to get a response.
