psychology lessons. Mikanma and Khu Lon is cardboard and everyone else 

Almost forgot...
"Mikanma and Khu Lou is cardboard" is grammatically abnormal.  "Is" does
not agree with the multiple entities "Mikanma" and "Khu Lou."  I suggest 
using the word "are" instead of "is."

Final Tally:
3 grammatical abnormalities.
Percentage per word:  2.702 (3 abnormalities, 111 words)
Percentage per sentence:  33.333 (3 abnormalities, 9 sentences)

Summary --
Given the casual nature of the prose, and the apparent age of the writer,
the ratio of abnormalities to sentences is within the proper limits,
though near the maximum allowed by GoodTaste(tm).  Careful editing will
prevent such errors in the future, as they are basic.
