Yes.

Don't assume we can read your mind and know what you are talking about, 
because we can't.

What methods did you try?

What did they do?

What is "xgoogle"?

What do you mean "doesn't work well"?

What is "PMI"?

I'm sorry that you are pressed for time, but that's your problem, not ours.

In English, we have a proverb: "more haste, less speed". It means, if you are 
in a hurry to do something, you should take the time to do it carefully the 
first time, because it is faster to do it carefully *once* and get it right, 
than to do it fast one, two, three, ... times and making mistakes.

If you want to get good answers to your questions quickly, spend the time to 
ask good questions the first time, and don't waste your time and ours with bad 
questions that cannot be answered.
