Seven plus seven, fourteen.

It's tire with two. I've only heard it that way. It's not my accent.

Pronunciation. Did you learn to read by sight? Say it aloud, now.

I agree with the
Inarticulate Babbler.
Haiku can be hard.

Haikus are better
When written by people like
Matsuo Basho.

Can't read Japanese. I don't even like manga. Can't stand right-to-left.

Haiku- not my thing.
I much prefer to do prose.
But when that fails me...?
