Important to be accurate

Dear 1D,

It is important to be accurate in your writing as your classmates are using your entries for their writing. I am appalled to see mistakes in the vocabulary lists that some of you have posted. Please look through your entries again and edit your work. Dasheni, please make the changes as soon as possible. Thanks.
