Some people have the bare minimum understanding of the language that Emily Dickinson ( There's a joke in there for those that often miss them ) wrote in. Notty writes perfectly adapting the speaking to the character's personality. But Annie suffers from what afflicted Lem' sci-fi novels; she uses the lingo of a flight engineer. That's where most readers may find themselves lost. Dumbing down her words would kill her character..I recall some dev making a post not long ago whether he should dumb down the English so that people understand. I thought it was ridiculous, I mean there are heaps of online dictionaries and translators to fill in the gaps and perhaps learn something. I had no idea some would actually go as far as pestering the devs about it.![]()
Hope to see her bogan side
