This was such a fantastic read and breakdown, and by the end of it you really see the need for that in literature today, especially if we want to say these voices matter - they really should exist as they are

I’d liken this article to my favorite dish and say it was an absolutely delicious read. I loved how I could easily relate to it through the nuances adopted by the writer.

I do the writing, and you do the enjoyment. Sounds fair to me.

This is so impressive. The fact that you've observed and listened, and then categorised these expressions in "Ninglish" grammatically, to serve as a reference point and a subject of study. Well done!

You’ve summarised the scope and relevance of the work really well. Thank you.

Lmao. It’s interesting how we love words that are onomatopoeic.
