And I'm not a grammar nazi. Saying 'two sense' instead of the cliché phrase 'two cents' would grind the teeth of most people. It isn't a trivial error.
I call it two sense on purpose, and nice try in hiding your grammatical error, because I actually simply directly quoted you and put bold tags on "is". I didn't actually insert it. "Is" is the word you originally used before editing your post for fear of looking like a hypocrite.
