I doubt she’s thinking about unicorns. Remember when she was designing Andy’s tattoo? Ponies and strawberries. Not unicorns. Ponies.
I am a little bit disappointed in their teacher, who did not correct her when she said hoofs. As others have correctly said in the comments, the plural of hoof is hooves.
Well, to call out a student on a small thing like that when they’re presenting in front of the class would be a pretty asshole move on the part of a teacher, so I can see why Mina didn’t.
She has a strong will and strong sense of identity. It’s hard to break an accent in them. Because, to them, they don’t see it as a problem that needs fixing. Something I personally agree with. It’s not a problem that needs fixing.
It depends on the situation. In cases where knowing whether something was actually plural or singular, it is important, like surgeries, engineering, emergency situations and other things. Accents and word choices are really fascinating, soda vs pop anyone?Though it has been noted to be more of a cultural/language difference issue than a speech issue like the inability to say s’s (as someone who has speech therapy as a kid, and starting from when I was 3, they didn’t even really care about r’s due to it being New England, and the accent had weird r stuff).
That wasn’t a compli– you know what, never mind, Tehk needs a break once in a while.
So… Amanda wants cloven hooves on her chair. I thought she liked horses?
Or was that just some artistic license to make them look like “hooves”
maybe they’re meant to be unicorn hooves? unicorns have cloven hooves
Unicorns can and do have cloven hooves. Last Unicorn for example or the Unicorn Chronicles.
Phoebe and her Unicorn, for something in the web comic genre.
Right. Totally forgot about Unicorns. I retract the question.
I love how at this point Selkie is just leaning into Tehk’s accusations of her being a drama queen. 🙂
And hooves are an interesting choice, Amanda.
She’s a princess and princesses love horses so it makes sense to me lol.
Those are cloven hooves, though, like a cow has. Horses only have one toe in their hoof, not multiple.
Unicorns have, in some if not most depections of old and high fantasy, cloven hooves.

Correcting the student seems like a thing best to be done in private, or just as a note on the grade paperwork (not affecting said grade)
I see Selkie’s speech lessons are NOT coming along.

Wood? I was hoping for Selkie to make a throne out of the skulls of her defeated enemies…
Then they just get their revenge by biting your butt. I feel like the really old online comic “once upon a table” had something about that.
I’m guessing the board behind them says “HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!”
But from the limited view we get, my first impression was “GOD TIER!”
I’m sure Selkie approves of that reading
“I want my chair TO be comfy”. Amanda is a native speaker
