Both are correct. You can use whatever. I also took some commas out.
Gracias por las correciones, y por quitando algunas commas.
Pero, no creo que me estás ayundando mucho respondiendo a mis preguntas en Ingles...

I'm sorry, I'm practising English as much as you are practising Spanish. This is a swap.
Anyway, as you like...

I'm sorry, I cannot understand this. Not because of its grammar, but because of its coherence with the rest of the thread.

OK, but if that's to be clever I'm a monk.

It works better in Spanish: Si eso es ser listo yo soy cura.

I've been trying to think if there is an English equivalent to this dicho
You wouldn't be understood if you that "then I'm a monk" You would be understood if you said "If that's clever, then I'm the king of England"

On the other have if you are sure about something you could say, "If that's not clever, then I'm a monkey's uncle", or "If that's not clever, then I'll eat my hat."

Eso de ser `...the king of England´, ya lo sé, pero nunca he oido; "If that's not clever, then I'll eat my hat".
De veras, estoy aprendiendo muchisímo aquí.
Y quién sabe, a lo mejor, Alfonso quiere ser a monk de verdad.

Pero, ¡que cotilla soís!
No he decidido escribir ni cuentos, ni versos, ni chistes..., ya os diré.
Ademas, así me salen en una forma natural, siguendo las conversaciones...
Y, otra cosa, con 25 años, sigo siendo adolescente, mas o menos o ¿no?
