It's English and that language and sentence structure predates your existance by ages. Nobody's speech pattern is original, Thror certainly wasn't the first one to speak in broken english, I'm sure it probably goes back quite a ways to the first char to do it.

> > I guess everybody has to speak in proper english now because broken english annoys DR and god knows we can't have that. Alrucus is probably one of the most original chars I've met. His "lisp" isn't just because he's a fire giant(or a dwarf, or whatever) or because his intelligence is lacking, or because he's a hick from the backwoods, he's put a different spin on it and kudos to him for that. Granted, there are roleplaying tweaks that his char could stand to undergo, but none of them involve his speech, more with his demeanor.

And I flat out laughed at you IC because not only would you not repeat yourself to me, but you wouldn't even explain why you were talking that way. I thought

Making fun of somebody because english is not their first language is juvenile(except when it involves Asihara because he deserves it). So what if he is 14? He's putting forth an effort to roleplay a novel idea, which is much more than I can say for many other CF players.
