Imo...sweet sentence!! Love the alliteration.

While double checking alliteration vs. consonance, I ran across this, a bit about being gt in language?
Lauryn Hill's lines from the Fugees 'Zealots' show consonance at work alongside rhyme:
Rap rejects my tape deck, ejects projectile
Whether Jew or Gentile, I rank top percentile,
Many styles, More powerful than gamma rays
My grammar pays, like Carlos Santana plays


More to the point...Yeah, I wouldn't put a whole lot of thought into whether a poster is being truthful based on how they spell GT. For their kid's sake they might just need some good honest advice smile
A lot of parents who are not gifted don't recognize it in their kids because they figure it couldn't be true based on their own intelligence level - so hurray to those folks who just go ahead and admit - their kid is smarter than them. And they need help, these are big admissions.
Despite being eg/hg myself, I definitely throw a few missing commas into each of my posts for 'flare'. smile
