first of all, for being a native english speaker (as I derived from your location) your post is a total MESS to read and understand

2nd - being in the medical profession I can confirm, that using cotton earbuds is not the way to go, it's best cleaned by warm watter (near body temperature so that you don't get dizzy) or special ear cleaning sprays that dissolve the wax.

Sticking stuff in to touch your eardrum is a no go. Too bad that a lot of people still use them daily. And for parents/people who are expecting kids, another tip - NEVER use cotton earbuds for children as their growth isn't completed and the ear drum is much closer to the surface of the head and much less protected. So you can do much more damage then to yourself.

Hmm very bold statement just from a location my spelling is very bad I write how I speak due to have gone thru 3 passports by the age of 10 not much schooling i speak 6 languges fluent but cant write any all I can do is aplogise for this but at 29 it's not gona change for a long time lol I will put it in my signature tho so forum members have a heads up

I see you corrected it a bit now. It's actually readable now I guess you would agree that clean is easier to understand than cean

My spelling is terrible too, luckily spell-check sorts it all out for me.

Oh, and don't use cotton buds in your ears.
One way to clean the ears is pour a little warm olive oil in the ear, this will usually dissolve or dislodge most of the wax and crud.

I prefer the standard spell checks rather than the rude obnoxious ones.

Having a keyboard with a l key that works might help also ha ha
