ROSE! For heaven’s sake! Oh my stars, this just reminded me of a movie scene (can’t think which movie) where a young woman writes a love letter to one of her profesors and he corrected her grammar. Fortunately, Wallace is made of stern stuff and probably won’t even be offended.
I love grammar, and my mind corrects it all the time. But I ignore the mind when it comes to conversational writing. (In spite of being an English teacher, I write like I talk, “gonna” being one of my worst offenses!)

What are the odds that Rose, among all of the pressures she feels from having a perfectionist tiger mom, also has ADHD?

At least he took the time to actually write something. C’mon Rose, don’t let grammar eclipse the gesture.

Sometimes, a little of Rose goes a long way. Maybe she and Spud should become an item?

Rose, you’re so awesomatic that you don’t realize awesomatic applies to you.

Love the “dramatic” scene on panel 3. Awesomatic is a word in my thesaurus.

Yes, Wallace and Rose: “awesomatic” is a word, not just one recorded enough times to be popular or in dictionaries.
