So *your* Uroxi are more literate and intellectual than the rest of the Orlanthi? Wow, Your Glorantha Sure Do Vary!

For the first years of my life (until around second grade), I had exactly this speech pattern. ("Wabbit" starts with the same sounds as "Water", wight?).*and* I was a kid with a terrible temper (something to do with two older brothers who liked to tease). So I know *exactly* what these people are going through.
In College, "Monty Python's Life of Brian" had come out, so I was forced to put up with "Welease Wodewick" quotes.
Feh! on you and your namby-pamby, psuedo-intellectual, hyper-sensitive, (probably clove-ciggarette-smoking) Uroxi! I've been been there and done that, and I *will* mock it!
:-p Bpbpbpbpbp!
