Aliantha 11-28-2007 10:43 PM

Re: my ass, it would have to be a picture to be me. And 8 out of 2000 is hardly what i always do... That being said, I can't think of who else this would be though....

Like Clod I think people I know would recognise my speech patterns immediately. I don't think there's as apparent in writing. Except that I use ellipses and brackets far too much.

Oh and grim makes it into the posts - I use it in speech too, trying to wean myself off it. Also babba, chick, plum and occasionally cool potatoes. I don't think I've ever used my real inanities in the Cellar though: good plan, Batman, mental, mental, chicken Oriental or I'd risk it for a biscuit.

Urbane Guerrilla 12-05-2007 09:03 PM

Hmm... I bracket, I dash, the semicolon gets correctly resorted to, and my sentences grow long tails unless I trim them... that vexes Undertoad... but I think the most distinctive feature of my writing is my willingness to display learned coinings -- I like it when they're of my own invention. And I hope they aren't hemipygian.

LJ, it looks to me like tw got on the guess lists twice: #1 in the first and #3 the second? What's up with that?

Cloud 12-05-2007 09:11 PM

it's a trap! LJ is mining for our poker tells.

(and I like to start the first sentence with a small letter)

ETA: okay looking back at a few posts that last doesn't seem reliable. Other people do it, and I don't always).

classicman 12-05-2007 09:46 PM

But cloud - you only do it when you have a high pocket pair.

kerosene 12-05-2007 11:38 PM

I don't know what I do...I guess I start my sentences with "and." And I repeat myself.

well, it's really a function of his lack of imagination. he seems to use the exact same devices repeatedly. I could, I'm sure, list a dozen or so of his oft repeated phraseprints. If I was an ubergeek code maven, and had the time, I could create a program that would translate paragraphs into twese. The effort that would take would be wasted on such a small audience, though.


perhaps someone could create a form that you could fill in a person's idiomatic phrases or common word strings.....ah, nevermind.
