Grammar Cat #10: Sudoku Cat

SOODOKOO = Sudoku

MAKED ME  = made me
The verb "make" is irregular: it makes (present tense), it made (past tense). This is the kind of mistake that the LOLCats make a lot; they do not know the irregular verbs in English. You could also correct this to say: Sudoku makes me sleepy. (present tense)

SLEEPEE = sleepy.
Don't forget the period at the end of the sentence.

English has a special word order for questions:
I can have a cheeseburger.
Can I have a cheeseburger?
