I think you'll appreciate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475949394193002015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-77789958616099269012011-02-17T22:45:02.796-05:002011-02-17T22:45:02.796-05:00Great examples, guys!

Robert Jordon's Wheel of Time is similar to that.<br /><a href="http://nahnomclein.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><i> Nahno ∗ McLein</i> ™</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16548562702122142828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-52744866262022554592011-02-17T13:10:05.383-05:002011-02-17T13:10:05.383-05:00I love this topic, and I totally watch Spartacus a...I love this topic, and I totally watch Spartacus as a guilty pleasure too.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a good example; Ford Prefect says a lot of great hoopy stuff that immediately clues you in that's he's different. But, that whole book is brilliant.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-12277283286665566992011-02-17T12:09:20.537-05:002011-02-17T12:09:20.537-05:00The Vulcans, in all of the Star Trek universe, alw...The Vulcans, in all of the Star Trek universe, always sound so formal and use lots of big words. They never use contractions, slang or idioms. They profess to not understanding idioms as well.

Getting rid of word order in English would just be a bad idea.<br /><br />As for books that use diction, I have to say that Speaker for the Dead has changed my vocabulary. I'll be talking with my friends or even professors and I'll find myself wanting to use the words framling, ramen, or varelse. Sometimes I forget that those words haven't actually been adopted into the English language.Mandy P.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02453249544598951624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-73156177969568237482011-02-17T07:50:20.373-05:002011-02-17T07:50:20.373-05:00It's my guilty pleasure too!It's my guilty pleasure too!LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.com
