Sutoratosu Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So wait...is everyone except Arya going to be unaware of Ruri's near-sentient ahoge? apparently so... XD EDIT: Also, Arya never gave her last name to anyone, only introduced herself with her primary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiss13 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 apparently so... XD It could be a running gag in the anime. I think we can run with this~ All this ahoge talk reminds me of this scene from another series. “So, have you found the person you’re looking for? Did your ahoge finally stop with that *biribiri* reaction?” “‘…This thing that Misaka has isn’t an ahoge!’ says Misaka as Misaka has a tired voice.” But this child who was around ten years old had a cluster of hair that stood up, and it was waving in the autumn wind. That was, without question, the ultimate ahoge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually, idk about the rest, but Kagari notices it and accepts it as normal. It wouldn't be the first expressive ahoge she's seen, since she's a Japanese girl growing up in an anime world. This should be the same for all the Japanese-origin characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya hails from europe/ america/ some place that isn't japan... XD EDIT: Lols... I just got the implications of that too. If Ahoges are rather common sights in japan in this verse...

rustytengo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ugg a lot of catching up to do weeeeeeeeee. anyways things to note Lyre would probably not even notice something like an ahoge unless someone brought it to her attention. though she probably wouldn't think to much about it if they did anyways. second since its almost impossible to actually do in a form based Rp i will explain it here. if anyone added a honorific to her name Lyre would interrupt them and basically say this " Its Lyre, my name is Ly-re" with her fingers counting the syllables of her name "nothing else" she also would get quite close to the persons face. she just doesn't like honorifics cause she thinks they sound funny with her name.

Code: PIRULUK Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Uhh Rusty I noticed this a while back and thought I should bring it up: you seem to have a habit of writing "while" as "well". Just needed to get it out of my system, I'm a bit OCD about English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustytengo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Uhh Rusty I noticed this a while back and thought I should bring it up: you seem to have a habit of writing "while" as "well". Just needed to get it out of my system, I'm a bit OCD about English. I do? its probably just me writing how i talk then since they sound similar when i talk anyways, or just the Montanan accent coming out in my head when I'm typing. be lucky I remember the "T's" in words like mountain since the Montanan accent when don't pronounce it when we say them. I will go back and check mine then. Edit: it isn't actually wrong. In proper English it is, but in natural English its not or at least from where I'm from its not. we interchange those words when talking about things happening at the same time. while is more used in things like "a while" when talking about things that happened a while ago. in other words Acqui is making me self conscious about my accent waaaaaaaaaa.

Well. Not so much wrong, as nonstandard. WARNING: Wall of text incoming. Generally, while colloquial, nonstandard forms are acceptable and even expected in spoken English, it is generally frowned upon to use nonstandard English in the written form of the language due to the precedence of the communicative principle that forms the basis of language usage. If we consider the key goal of language to be increasing comprehensibility for the reader and imparting information from the source to the receiver, then standard English is generally the more appropriate choice for a written medium open to a range of speakers/language users with differing levels of communicative competence - like this forum - due to the higher level of general comprehensibility. That is to say, a non-native speaker of English or an English as Second Language(ESL) speaker is more likely to be able to read a sentence written in Standard English as opposed to nonstandard English. For example, an ESL speaker who is not intricately familiar with the language and its usage may be confused by your usage of "well" in place of "while", due to the usage of the word not coinciding with their pre-existing knowledge of the Standard English lexicon. As such, it is generally more acceptable to use Standard English when applying English in its written form. The exception to this is if the only people who are going to be reading the written text are people who are also privy to or familiar with the particular brand of nonstandard English you are applying. In spoken English, the use of nonstandard forms is somewhat more acceptable due to the presence of higher contact, higher intimacy, clearer context and the use of non-verbal indicators allow for heightened comprehensibility of a nonstandard form, but in the written medium where such non-verbal cues are not present, it is generally accepted that one should use Standard English as much as possible. This is not to say that the colloquial form of English you are using is in any way wrong or inferior, just that it is an inappropriate application in this situation, by convention. Similarly, while I do enjoy the subtleties of Singaporean Colloquial English(more commonly known as Singlish), I would not use it on these forums, or even in the Showdown chat, as it may hinder comprehensibility and the accomplishment of the Communicative Principle. TL;DR Don't take Language Studies, it gives you OCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 @rusty: The Minnesota accent is pretty similar, so don't be embarrassed. Though, the word is still "while," it's just pronounced differently depending on the usage and I just realized how strange that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, the word is still "while," it's just pronounced differently depending on the usage and I just realized how strange that is. thats just English in general after all there's this fun word. "read" the big thing is i have always wrote like that and no one ever said anything so don't know if i will be able to change it. since if i use "while" instead of "well" it will look really awkward to me.

Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~ Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Believe me, it's better to have a language who is very lax with rules rather than one that is very strict. My native language, Portuguese, is incredibly strict and it gets boring as hell to even speak it. Without using jargon and "street talk" you have to take vocal turns and backflips to say simple sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustytengo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) True the plus thing about English is that there is not a feminine and masculine way of talking so we don't have to worry about that. also someone finally mentioned the Cuddle Fish which is also its name as well as what Lyre does to it when she sleeps.(unless she finds something softer to cuddle up against) Edited June 5, 2015 by rustytengo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
