Do the commas I have added above help you to understand it?

Please note that I edited post #1 so that it was in the default font and size. Please don't post in such a tiny font in future. If you copy and paste text in to the text box, make sure you put it in the default font and size.

Please provide the source and author/speaker of the words you quoted. This is a requirement every time.

Yes, space here [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] they do.

I'm glad they helped. However, you still haven't provided the source and author/speaker of the original quote.
 
In this context, 'say' means 'for example'.
