Talking

After a week of schoolexams, I find I have the time to do anything other than learning again
Thanks guys, for taking the time to read it, and comment on it (extensively so).

I shall remove the "ehm", that's just a figure of speech meaning "um".

I thought that it was okay to change style since it was the introduction and conclusion, but maybe I should save the joking for the preface and keep the rest formal.

I was actually gonna remove those in the second version, but I'd almost forgotten

As for the "one", that's what we learned at school to use instead of "people" and "you", "we" etc. I guess when you read it like that, it does seem a bit out of place, though.

Again, thanks for the help, I'm gonna go change my paper now
