   better you than me

I've noticed, for a long time, that quite a few people have a tendency
to completely screw up when writing dialogue for Shampoo. Not only in
terms of misuse, but often in terms of horrid misspellings. (Example:
the dreaded 'Hi ya!')
     damn straight!


"AIYAH! Pig-boy trying rape Shampoo!"

   i shan't take this in the context it was not meant in...

Note: This is NOT spelled "Hi ya". 

   ukay

Meaning: Husband, beloved
'wo da airen' = 'my beloved husband'

   what?  that's all?  What else is there?  
   ELL has a point folks.  A lot a people get Shampoo's dialect and such
wrong too...true, she speaks pidgin Japanese...and that is kinda hard to
mess up, but when you use the words, try and spell 'em right.  It's a hard
read lookin' at words like Hi ya and such...and sometimes her pidgin
speech grates on my nerves.  
   Try to come up with some more points like this Lurker.  They can do the
beginning, and heck even some of the older, fic writers good.
