Yeah, English is hard because it's a total anarchist language. It has rules but doesn't follow them half the time, and it just steals whatever words it wants from other languages.
My gawd, the spelling. If I didn't read so much, I never would have learned to spell well. Both my parents and all of my previous teachers are horrible spellers. It's pretty sad when college educated adults trusted with the responsibility to teach children constantly have to ask a 10 or 11 year old how to spell something.
Fun fact: Kijani's a dance-battler too... When I play her older she's got this wild mixture of tai chi, wushu, and capoiera with a hint of breakdancing. She's going to start developing it in school, I suppose... Sue is definitely going to help. We have to make that happen.
