Iâm probably not going to read a 144 post thread. Unless you can point me to part of it relevant to the comment about cock only meaning rooster in that original post.

Oh 
I thought you meant their attitude towards JLPT. No I donât think thatâs in there.
I think it is.
Because queenâs is basically queen is?
So itâs âthis slipped out of the queen is mouthâ instead of queens.
Maybe Iâm wrong too!
Good spot though.

Oh ok 
I usually write it as Lewisâ actually like in that link you sent 
.
This is why I failed English.
Maybe I should stop learning Japanese and learn English grammar properly ahaha.

Something that could be useful is to add a link between the transitive/intransitive pairs to show how they are related.
Also, there are several rules of thumb Iâve learned to help me differentiate them. Like mentioned by the other user, ăă ending verbs always correlate with intransitive verbs and ă ending verbs always correlate to transitive verbs. There are a few other rules as well, but these are the more hard rules I find to work for a majority of verb pairs I run into.
A trick I was taught was ăă is to exist, so itâs just a state of being and not moving. Your not acting on it. So it is intransitive. ă is related to ăă which means to do something or act on it. So itâs transitive because you act on it.
So maybe this kind of mnemonic would be useful as a hint to add to help differentiate the two. I tend to find most of the mnemonics that talk about the transitivity and intransitivity of the verbs in WK to unfortunately be forgetful.

While it is the possessive, you didnât consider that it could have been âhasâ!

Maybe you are a collective of multiple Lewis?

Thatâs still a possessive though.
You might be right about it being Lewises though, but it looked sketchy to my eye.

It looks sketch, but it seems to be right.

Par for the course with the English language.

I mean if you sounds it out, you would say âItâs the Lewisesâ Carâ as âits the lewisisis carâ.
Which at least sounds right.
This all seems quite good to me. Iâm happy to see the continued dedication to improvement. This is a wonderful product, and Iâm continually impressed. Much respect.

Oh, I was just pointing out that it was missing âtheâ before queen. âslipped out of the queenâs mouth.â
