Working on Words

It has been pointed out to me that I have been using Baby-Speak a LOT lately - as in, years. It's been slowly taking over most of my casual talking (SL, OSGrid, online games) and Punk said it has started seeping into my stories a little. Of course I justified it by mentioning how hard it is for me to do words. Which is a terrible excuse because fighting that is one of the reasons I do things like online games - to work on keeping my word abilities working. If I don't practice doing it right I will keep doing it worse until it gets to where I can't make sense at all.

So back to trying to force myself to 'talk' in regular words. Definitely forcing that in stories, SL and OSGrid will probably flip around a bit. Games - yeah, I should try to force more correct words there if only to counteract the effects of reading the baby-talk half the other players use.

Bye for now! :)
