I know that you _think_ that. But you do a bad job convincing me (by avoiding an explanation).

I am sorry, but this non-native English speaker still has trouble recognizing the meaning in this.

Again, I can only guess that you mean something like this:

	2nd rule: any word after an added word will be shown after a line

Again, I am not a native speaker, so IMO it is very important to be clear in crucial points such as this one.
