disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: Sorry. Makes no sense. What on earth does "Request of the permanention in existence" mean?? //changing to disagree as you haven't bothered to correct the nonsense and the non-existing word
14 hrs
  -> "Request for the permanention (constancy) in existence"
disagree  AllegroTrans: your explanation just does not make sense and no such word as "permanention"
15 hrs
disagree  B D Finch: "In existence" is muddled and unnecessary and there is no such word as "permanention". Also, "standing" does not mean "permanent", as it can be changed.
