"Hurry the fuck up!"

I wanted to be structured :D

Ps: I decided to use alphabets in the numbering because, for some enigmatic reasons, my numbering were showing 1. 1. 1 instead of 1. 2. 3.

Good work. Thanks for adopting the ABC system, and for informing me of the reason for that.

When I read thru everyone's VocPractice, I need something to clarify the separate sentences, so I required numbering. But your ABCs work just as well.

Here's an extra "red checkmark," just for being resourceful and effective!!

Thanks for the two extra red checkmark, you really remind me of one of my elementary school teachers. Hahaha.

But that's just me...
