She said; You, got. to-mix?them!up: She showd? me" how, to mix! them; up, and now! I can. mix {up all? kinds of punctuation- in, my. writing! There" are lots, of rules; to learn? but. Im' get'ting them in my head: One thing? I, like: about, Dear Miss Kinnian: {thats, the way? it goes; in a business letter {if I ever go! into business?} is that, she: always; gives me' a reason" when-I ask. She"s a gen'ius! I wish?
