Could you please help explain one sentence?

Dear Teacher

Could you please help explain one sentence?

As below I got it from a conversation.

“I am sure will learn more about Tom’s big news.”

If I misheard what she was saying?

Or why the speaker omitted the word in red ink “I am sure I will learn more Tom’s big news.”

Or it’s ok when we use in common conversation.

Thanks so much ahead of time. Jacky Lin. February 19th 2011.

Yes! Hurray! I get amazed at your answer. Why I can’t think of it.

It’s so wonderful for you two teachers to explain about that.

If there is no help from you two teachers, I don’t know how much time I need spend on.

The above is my immediately feelings when I saw that. I need let you know.

That's why we're here! I'm glad we could help.

By the way, when I read your original post, my reaction was -- Yes! This person said "please" and "thank you"! There are capital letters and puctuation, and real words! Hurrah! [<:o)] (We get very tired of answering posts that are full of "i" and "u.") It was also very helpful that you mentioned that you heard the confusing s

Dear Khoff

There are capital letters and punctuation, and real words! Hurrah!

Thanks a lot.

Jacky56Lin Hurrah! = Hurray!
Yes, they're the same. (In fact, I would usually say "Hurray." I used "hurrah" because I thought that was what you had used.)

By the way -- my name is Jackie, I am 56 years old, and my middle name (before I got married and started using my maiden name as a middle name) was Lynn.
