Sure. I haven't heard from her, and she's not normally so taciturn. But on the other hand, fall term is just beginning!

I don't disagree with that!

Sadly, the lexicon is not very complete. I'm sure she's just not had time to fill it in and complete it. Grammar is detailed, but without a lot of words it's kind of hard to actually use a language.
