T'be or not t'be?

[okayawesome]

Okay, what is with the deeply irritating new trend of people in the Six Words communities trying to get around the fact that they're in a Six Words community by doing shit like "t'[verb]" and "a'course" and other such contractions?

Especially characters doing it who would never, ever talk that way?

Like, say, A VULCAN.

Jesus Christ, people, if you can't think up a decent way to reword one sentence to make it fit, can't you just go post it in a dressing room somewhere?

That might be an amusing bit of word-play if they were talking to or about a Vulcan with a name that follows the T'[rest of name] TOS feminine naming pattern, but it's the kind of trick you can only ever pull once.

Okay, that's a good point and would also be completely awesome if someone were actually doing that, but unfortunately, no one in the comm is as cool as you. :(

Out of curiosity, who do you play over there?

(Also I promise never to make anyone of my characters make posts like that, because they are not Scotty and not allowed to talk with an accent.)

If you check out my journal you can see my masterlist at the top of the page, but I most often play Bones (notanescalator) these days.

Oh, hai! I've played with you before. :D

I haven't dragged him out in a while, but I play a_doctor_dammit.

O hai! :D

I'm so going to have to drag Bones out to play again. XD I've been neglecting him in favor of Dr. Hatfield, poor bb.
