Chaucer would not have dreamed of it, and I doubt that either Spenser or Shakespeare would have been to sure which way was "correct"
In a thread about grammar, you should really be careful to use the proper form of to, two, or too.
So except for measuring all the particles' properties, which especially in case of the self-coupling will take many years, we will have to find an answer to the hierarchy problem.
Self-coupling should take 15 minutes, tops. You must be doing something wrong.
