Rob? I think it is robe.
Try to avoid slang (like gotta). Only use it dialoges when nessasary.

I'll try using gotta is a habit I have it's something I say alot. And when sometimes when I write I don't add a liter by mistake or the key stuck and I didn't see it becuase spell check didn't pick up on it cuz rob is a name so it wouldn't have picked up on it.
