    Default George is gettin' upset!

    Ever speak in the third person? I do it every so often, me and my friends once went a day without using pronouns. People give you weird looks, like Verm is crazy.

    I don’t really need to make myself look any more stupid than I already do.

    You're killing independent George!

    I only talk about myself in the third person when no-one seems to be listening to me.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    I found myself talking to myself in third person, but I was referring to both my first and third person at the same time, it was rather disconcerting.
    I was taking a walk and while talking to myself, I said that 'we need to walk this way more often' at which point I stopped and did a mental double-take. That was a weird day.

    Why yes, Tavrobel does sometimes speak in the third person.

    But if he is, there's either a good reason for it, or he's doing some irl trolling. But since this thread is in context, he shouldn't have to be afraid of negative responses; it's a good skill to have, or so he's heard.

    oddler agrees, although it's most certainly not the norm for him.

    Not normally, perhaps if Will is feeling silly

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Harvey enjoys a bit of third person silliness, but he rarely engages in such activity.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow
