*Smiles*<br/><br/>Well, she didn't need THAT much help.  It was more that she learned to read elvish first, and didn't initially get a grasp of the Common alphabet.<br/><br/>She's also not particularly smart (not in any way dumb, but not particularly smart, either) so when she started to feel the lack, she asked friends who were smarter than she for help.<br/><br/>And Ran's still seventeen.  :)  So they're still pretty close in age.<br/><br/>I like the informal contest to see who can wear less.  ;)
