Lexy flicks in and out of third person...

It drives me slightly batty. There's nothing inherently wrong with the style or the people that use it, but to me it comes off as childish, attention-grabbing, and overly repetitive. That doesn't mean that the people who use the style are any of those things, but the style certainly makes me think so.
I almost think it's especially weird in forums. There's no need to write your own name down a bunch of times when we can just look to the left and poof - there's your username. At least if a person is doing it in real life it's almost helpful - you'll learn their name in no time since most people don't wear giant nametags on a daily basis. |
LOL.
I find it somewhat annoying for people to type like that, unless they are using it to describe an action while RPing. When people do it just for normal talking, it's a bit confusing because unless you pay close attention to their username, or even their nickname or something, you might think they're talking about someone other than themself. That and there is just something slightly annoying when too many people start doing that. I don't generally care too much about it though, but I wouldn't write like that except when RPing.

It doesn't bother me if I happen across someone who types like that once or twice. If I see it often from the same person, I may raise an eyebrow and move on. It's not my favorite form of speech, but I have nothing against those who do prefer to speak in such a way. Maybe they DO just want to come across as cute, and that's fine by me. In my opinion, as long as they're still able to get their point across, that's all that matters.
Ahh, there's the odd instance where I might speak in third person myself, but, yes, that's only if I feel the need to accentuate an opinion or a statement in a cute but definitive way. |
I talk in third person occasionally but only when I am bored. When I am trying to make a point I never do it. I dunno I guess that if you speak in third person when trying to be smart it doesn't help others take you serious.
|
I honestly don't care if someone does it, out loud or online. It's just them and what they do. It's really not that different to say, "Middie thinks this" rather than, "I think this". Personally, though, I could never remember to speak in 3rd person all the time so I gave up.
|
I find it annoying most the time. It all depends on the person though. I know one person who types in first person all the time and it doesn’t bug me at all because that’s the only way I’ve ever seen them type something. If it was a random person however, I’d be really annoyed really quick.
|
I'm really annoyed by people who type/speak in third person. There aren't many of them out there, but I have seen them around, and honestly, I don't get it.
I think it's ridiculous. I also found this passage, which makes me feel slightly differently about it...but only slightly. Quote:

I never talk in third person unless it's like, pointing to meself about something. For example <-Sadii did this as an example.
Other than that, I don't. >o< |
Skittles is fine with speaking in third person >w> -cough-
I'll sometimes talk in third person, and then my freinds will join in and we have a good laugh when we start mixing 1sta nd 3rd, making jumbled sentences, but other than that I don't think it bothers me too much. If someone were to speak it constantly, I would get annoyed, and probably tell them to stop, or 'shut the hell up' ^^; |
I dunno, I like typing in 3rd person. Once in a while, not constantly. I find the change quite funny and cute. Though I won't talk for hours in 3rd. xD
|
I don't do talk in third....
Unless I'm really bored.... Or just watched or read some thing where a person just kept talking in third person. I've never really seen it in the forums. And I don't really mind it. Though it does make me laugh when I read it in plays. Like Faustus, it made me giggles. That larger habit I have is adding 's' or 'h' to things. X3 |
3rd person o.o
Well, it's okay to talk that way, it's cute for five minutes, after that it'd get really annoying. <<;
|
It's good for describing yourself. x3 But I have to agree with Emerrett. x.x But sometimes it's cute! x3 Like when Flink does it! >w<
|
I do it from time to time, myself. Mainly when I do something stupid. I'm not sure why I do it... I really do it more on the phone and stuff anywhere else. Like, I'll say, "Yeeeah, Krissy is stupid from time to time." I don't do it because I find it cute, and I'm not sure WHY I do it... I know it's odd, but I can't help it.
|
lol well i dont really care about it
personaly i dont talk in third person, i kinda think its childish but its ok XD |
D:
I used to talk in 3rd Person. ): Not on the internet..but when I was young, I think 12 or so. I used to always say, "Danielle took out the trash" or "Danielle is awesome 8D" Mind you I dont do it anymore... >.>' I don't think it's childish or anything..it can get annoying at some points but it's just a different way of speaking, just like most british people say mate instead of pal. Or something..? *Off Topic* :'D |
I often speak in third person. xD;; But I'm usually more first personish, I think. :'O
--shrugs-- I don't know why it's "popular." Maybe because if we spoke in third person in real life, we'd be stared at? Haha. I don't know. |
Angel always talks in third person. It could be because she has been roleplaying near constantly for ten years and it is a hard habbit to break. She does it offline a lot too....
|
I do it once in a while--usually when other people do it (a 3rd person themed thread), or in a self-mocking way. That's less frequent, though.
|
I do it every now and then i can't help it just habit. Not just when i am online even in real life i do it.
|
I don't really mind it, I think it's kind of funny. It's understandable that some people might find it annoying, though. :] To each their own.
