  1. Very well done post Krizna, good job on including the examples so we understand more of what the word is. You organized the definitions clearly as well. But one thing you could've done to improve the examples was to change the color of the commas because I can't really tell if its part of the term or not. Other than that, keep up the good work! :D

  2. Great post Krizna. I liked that you have a variety of colour to separate each definition clearly. Although Next time maybe you should maybe bold or have all the important words with all the same colour.
