Yeah, great comment, but if you want to come on here, please use correct grammar, you're really destroying the web page's look and feel...

Definitely this site is not about grammar, but origami. Have you, at the age of 12, ever been totally fluent in any language, whether English, origami, Indian, music, math... ? I could go on but I hope you have realized that life is easier for everyone with a bit of give and take.

shes from india... and origami is a national art maybe in india that is correct grammar. like in latin, the verb usually comes before the subject. eg. jump bob did.
