dwarven talk

Post by Poots »

Why is it that on the boards, people post notes in a dwarven accent? It's like a speech impedement (sp?) they talk that way, but it's not like they write it.

I think the idea is that orcs are only semi-literate. I don't have a clue why the dwarves write their accents in though.

Orcs write like they do because of their bad spelling.

Coincidence that its simular to ig in some cases.

makes sense, but I would just like people to be aware that unless you're playing someone who can't spell, you shouldn't do it.

I also want to state that ( many do this already, though some don't) When talking in your races language, type normally, not in slang still.

Oi, Elderberries should be Elderberrys.

And I suppose you could say they aren't dumb as well.
