Good.

Worse.
Significantly so.

Hi.
I'm not really sure about this.
I liked his last one a lot, actually.
Thank you.

Bobbi. Look.

A bit.
In a good way, though, it makes you seem less complicated.
She is so hot.

The point of the hierarchy is only to give people
a measurement of how well they're doing in the structure,
