[QUOTE="Danielle du Pris, post: 3549963, member: 49445"] Ugh, Ryth! Put Danielle down on the "hate" side, but then you knew that. :-) And his language skills have nothing to do with it. (1) "Cute" kids make me shudder. (2) "Cute" kids that know/think they're cute and show it, make me want to get about 10 kilometers away, instantly. (3) "Cute" kids that openly sling vile insults or paint or whatever and still have people stand up for them because how could you get mad at someone sooooooo "cute"...? forget it! They're on the "oooooh look! a special on flaying tools! I know just where to use those!" list! I love the way you play many of your chars, Ruthia, but feel free to drop Ryth anytime, lol! (sorry, Oriza!) --------------------------------------------------------------- Side linguistics note: This isn't a specific criticism of Ryth, because he's hardly the only one that's done it, but I've worked with children and I've never heard one refer to themselves by name. They mix up pronouns ("Who wants a cookie?" "Me! me! me wants!") but they don't use their own name ("Mattie wants!"). Same with people learning a new language. The closest I've heard as third person is "one wants" or "this one wants" from those coming from certain cultures. My own take, sure, and I'd welcome counter-examples. [/QUOTE]
