It doesn't sound at all like you're trying to make things difficult. If I wrote an essay on Pokemon's setting and mythology? Someone is DEFINITELY allowed to write an essay on how they present a Shakespearean character.
Anyway, here's what I wanted to say: I'm an English Major. Or was, rather. I've taken countless courses on the history of the English language and on Shakespearean/Elizabethan English so if I notice anything is off I'll let you know. So far so good. And characters who speak in unusual ways do get easier to write.
Haha, yeah, I was studying linguistics/English myself before I decided I didn't like the college I was going to, so. XD But yeah, if you catch something, lemme know. I'm normally pretty good with grammar, but it's also easy to slip up, especially with things like the thou/you formalities and all that. And yes, they do get easier, though it takes a bit of time getting used to.
Oh, definitely. I played a character here who spoke a slang that consisted largely of Not!Russian (but we don't talk about that, shh). That slang doesn't really exist in the real world. But if I can get used to that then people can get used to anything.
I've played some characters with interesting speech quirks in other RPs before, so yeah. ^_^;; It just takes time, and I'll probably stick to ninja-ing now that I've into'd for now. XD
