I don't understand your point, that is exactly what i said, a 
nice use of with

There is a problem here, you don't listen to what i say, 
therefore you don't understand the problem

what about ALL OTHER problems? ;)

MyAbility ability switch ability with MyAbility use Ability

maybe we should have a @with instead of with, that'll solve the 
problem? /s
