- Analysis
- ♥ Blank texts are to get my attention.
- ♥ She apparently has a lot of explaining to do since the last time we texted, yet she never tells me when we talk on the phone. Hm...?
- ♥ She is retaining English vocabulary, as she recalled the word 'sucky' from a few days ago.
- ♥ Her apostrophe usage has been getting better, but now she adds random spaces in unnecessary places.
- ♥ The difference between 'yet' and 'still' is actually kind of hard to explain.
- ♥ Her romanized Korean definitely needs some work too. She meant to say '너 잘났어 정말.ㅎㅎ" (The heck is ho!ho!)
