I AM wrong, I am right. by the way: I've got it-- I think you mean rather than I got it. I have got it-- I understand.

OK. Thank you for your correction. Yet, your point is a little different from mine, so I would like to make certain.
Reading the post #3, I know there are (at least) two errors in my English.
One; "She is sitting toward the opposite direction" was a wrong sentence.
"She is sitting, facing the opposite direction" was correct.
"She is sitting toward the opposite direction" was wrong.
Two; "She is sitting on a platform" was wrong.
"She is sitting on a pier" was correct.
So there were two things which
were wrong.
I know that.
So I understand what
were wrong (in my original sentences).
Maybe it is syntax error.
I wanted to say that
the two sentences were wrong, instead of "I was wrong".
Should the subject of "XXX is wrong" be a human like "I, you, he, she"?

"I was wrong" I know this is a correct sentence.
"I were wrong" I know this is a wrong sentence.
"If I were wrong, I would do harakiri/seppuku." I know this is a correct sentence, because it is subjunctive.
I got it. (wrong)
I've got it. (right)
I've got it now, thanks. (Much better)
Got it! is the abbreviation of I've got it.
