Sakura

In addition to being a name for girls and boys, Sakura is also the Japanese word for cherry blossom.

(Note: Refer to the anime "Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan" for an example of Sakura as a boy's name.)
You can pretty much assume that the more sakura petals you see in an anime, the more girly/romantic/dramatic the show.

shall

A word which, like whom, has come to be thought of as overly formal and stuffy in American speech. In current use, it indicates a very strong intention or will to do something.

Traditionally, shall is used as an auxilliary to form the future tense for the first person: ("I" and "we")

I shall go
you will go
he/she/it will go
we shall go
they will go

Negative: shall not, contracted as shan't.

American Spelling

Initiated by Noah Webster in the early 19th century, American Spelling is perhaps the most successful effort ever to make the English language more phonetically written, thus decreasing its unnecessary difficulties for people trying to learn it as a foreign language.
Come on, do people in England really pronounce "centre" as "sen-tray"?

grammar

Something that has not been adequately defined by some other definitions; refers to the rules used to combine words together in order to form meaning within a given language.

"i don liek u becoz u suck"==grammatically correct, despite spelling shortcuts and the lack of capitalization/punctuation. These are mechanical/technical errors.

"She go to house red last Saturday."==despite perfect mechanics, this is not grammatically correct, due to a tense mismatch (needs to be past tense, verb misinflection (should be "she goes"), missing article ("the" or "a"), and adjective-noun word order reversal.
