Well, someone must have said that out loud, because we got The NaturalistsThings have become a little quiet around here lately, and I wonder if we got tired of picking on the easy, wildly horrible fics. So I'm aiming for something a

Pretty much sounds like this girl was trying to sound smart, when really...her theories are severely lacking

Try speaking dolphin. (Bearing in mind that most of their vocalizations are above our range of hearing, made with a completely different structure than our voicebox, and that they can speak with two different sound-producing mechanisms or "voices" at once.) Cybertronian is about ten times harder. It's not even organically produced. Yeah, the speaking-Cybertronian thing bugs the hell out of me too.

And that's not even mentioning the translations. Those would be rough as hell.

Just once, I'd like a fic where a human invents a machine or a musical instrument that could produce comparable sounds, and they use it to speak a pidgin-Cybertronian.

Then again Cybertronians writing in glyphs instead of barcode or those little databoxes also annoys me. XD But sadly it's canon.

Working on that in a fic myself. ;) Makes infinitely more sense, no?

Awesome. :D

I'd imagine that it would still be a very limited form of the language, since in my personal canon, it has a non-verbal wirelessly transmitted component as well. Like a human trying to communicate with a honeybee through dance while not being able to replicate or detect pheromones.
