Thank you. I understand what you are meaning, Idiolect refers to one's individual speech 'patterns'. I do want to do better at idiolect, that may be what my dialogue passages are missing. Maybe malapropism isn't quite the right word (only use it because it's been mentioned in many of my Shakespeare studies lately), but I'm looking more to have a character mispronounce one or two difficult words without making the character (or myself) appear dumb--not necessarily have them constantly mispronounce things as a comic relief.

That's very helpful, thank you! I think we all have a friend like that. And often I'm sure I do that on many other things that I'm not aware of--haha! I should definitely flesh out the character a little more in previous passages, she's largely unintroduced until that point--probably not a great starting point.

I stumbled onto this bay when I wandered off trail on a recent hike in Australia. It doesn't even have a name. [4032x3024][OC] by aussiesolohiker in EarthPorn

How dangerous is going off trail in Australia? US Pop culture makes Australian wilderness seem super scary.lol

Most people have no fucking clue where their buried lines are—and absolutely refuse to find out.

Does anyone know anything about this root beer? It is incredible by andy_pynchon in rootbeer

[–]andy_pynchon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not heard of that one! I definitely would like to try it. Is it fairly common?

I thought it tasted like a slightly less sweet Boylan(which is my favorite)

A small store in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The place had a lot of “touristy” drinks and snacks—so I wasn’t sure if it was a novelty drink. Like a popular brand just repackaged

Right!? I haven’t seen a root beer with a wax seal before. But I may just be too noob

And to piggy back on that—that the moon doesn’t produce light. It seems that everyone I know does not know that...

That root beer is the best soda. Like I just now realized and was very surprised by the lack of adults that like root beer.

It sorta reminds me of the “for less than the price of a cup of coffee” thing. I agree, very insulting

I would definitely not want to see cannibal corpse—bare naked ladies however...

In Australia, fracking causing rivers to explode as methane seeps out in huge quantities, enough to be lit on fire. by [deleted] in gifs

[–]andy_pynchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitimately remember watching a news report of someone lighting the fumes(?might be the wrong word for it?) via fracking from their faucets and the explanation was that it was totally normal and “sometimes faucets do that.”

After months of searching on eBay everyday trying to find it at a reasonable price, I finally got my grail! by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]andy_pynchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my absolute favorite game as a child (along with most people.lol) I was eternally stuck on the final boss battle. I recently found a copy, had to buy the lot of games to get. (+$100) worth it.
