Do you PEOPLE even as much as read what you're posting before posting it? I think, not!! For that I guess you should try to figure it out for yourself.
In my opinion, the word, "should" MUST have been OMITTED. You need to find where that word goes, and if you're lucky, you'll get a response to the re-post,
if you so choose to re-post.
