[HQ Ignorance] Re : Hero Points!

[Loran]

OOC
For exemple, I wrote intentionaly :
"I have already discovered myself that this little plant-man is a bag of provocations…"

So I'm fully guilty, but worse to this is the fact that Azhur is avoiding Icthya as much as politeness authorize it. He just doesn't know how to speak to a plant and a lot of strange legends are perturbing him (people killed by seeds growing out their belly, forbidden forests, unstoppable arrows, walking trees, plant-nymphes that charm righteous knights and make them forget their honor and duties... and so on).

My english is poor, but i'm fully responsible for being correctly understood...
But do we have to begin a flamewar for that ?
Please, let's go back to the game.
Loran

Good grief! It's the bloody language police. 
 
Again. 
 
Soren, can you activate your Judge bloke please and do something about this perp ;-)
 
In common usage, in England, it does. Loran's not in England, but if he were to speak to English people in England, they'd think he was referring to a bloke, for what it's worth. He understood Icthya to be a bloke, he used "he" at some point. 
 
Please don't snipe at my English from the sidelines, Philip. Just go away. 
 
Please.
 
Thank you.
 
Sam.
 
p.s. Lev, if this guy is lurking and is going to jump in and criticize my English, I am going to feel very uncomfortable posting here. I already do now. I can explain off list if you like.

Sam,
 
>>...BTW Loran, you've been using masculine words to describe her - "fellow" etc.
 
In English, the word "fellow" does not carry a gender – that is a common misconception.   It is certainly NOT masculine.   I'd be interested in any example you might be able to find where it has been used as definitively masculine.
 
Regards,
 
Philip
