MaybeNever: /* Autism */

there's a difference between a spelling error (geinus or however he's been doing it for the past like what 6 years?) and typo

but i think this could be expanded to a Chris and English page imo [[User:Clydec|Clydec]] 21:33, 21 October 2009 (CEST)
* Good point. --[[User:USAJAP1|USAJAP1]] 21:36, 21 October 2009 (CEST)
:*Chris and English sounds like a good idea to me. The way he talks and writes is unique, to say the least.--[[User:Beat|Beat]] 21:50, 21 October 2009 (CEST)
::*Yeah, especially considering [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes|this]]. --[[User:USAJAP1|USAJAP1]] 21:57, 21 October 2009 (CEST)

== Spelling errors ==
Geinus seems to be the main one he's been making for years. Any others? Observe his grammar patterns and other shit and stuff. Yeah. stuff. [[User:Clydec|Clydec]] 03:53, 22 October 2009 (CEST)
*"Seinor" is one he does consistently. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 06:00, 23 October 2009 (CEST)

==Autism==
I haven't read the article in full yet but I don't think there's anything noting that awkward speech is usually associated with autism. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 06:00, 23 October 2009 (CEST)
*It didn't even occur to me. My bad. --[[User:Beat|Beat]] 17:27, 23 October 2009 (CEST)
*Many autistics (at least aspies; you know, the ones whom Chris thinks are not actually autistic) are actually very precise and pendantic about grammar and spelling in a way that is quite unlike Chris. It wasn't for nothing that Hans Asperger called the kids he studied "little professors." --[[User:Doomknight|Doomknight]] 03:52, 2 December 2009 (CET)
*Likewise, some of the semantics thing is an autism thing. Like Chris answering "yes" to "Do you listen to music while drawing?" is an autistic thing. It's sorta like on [[Facebook]] when people would message him after he'd request to be their friend with "Do I know you?" and Chris would say something like "I don't know, I can't read your mind." Autistics tend to have very literal thinking and will fail to see the subtlety of a question, in this case "Do I know you?" is the socially accepted way of saying "Typically, people requesting to be my friend are people I know, and I don't know you. Are we connected in any way?" The "pen is mightier than the sword but more permanent than the pencil" is more of a random access humor thing. In fact, the random access humor is partially based in childish verb puns. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 04:33, 2 December 2009 (CET)
**The literal answers to questions deal is technically known as a lack of linguistic pragmatism. His fairly flat, unnaturally patterned speaking voice is probably a case of aprosodic speech. I'm mentioning it here because I don't think it matters much to the article, so I'm hesitant to add it (especially as my first edit), but there are attempts at technical terminology here and there.

==Chris and abstract thinking==
Do you think this could be a "Chris and..." article? There is plenty of evidence that he is NOT an abstract thinker (This would highlight his "Child-like" thinking; children tend be concrete, i.e. literal, in their thinking, Chris is no exception). There's enough evidence of his concrete thinking to make into a separate article. . --[[User:Scarletdragon|Scarletdragon]] 23:21, 2 December, 2009 (CET)
*This is something that could be discussed in the [[autism]] article (and it's already discussed there) since this is really an autism thing. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 05:44, 2 December 2009 (CET)

== Attempts to sound suave and educated ==

I can't really pin it down (I'm not great at literary analysis), but I've noticed that Chris often attempts to sound like, I dunno, a 19th century upper-middle class English writer. For example, in the email describing his detective work regarding the photo taken at the Game Place, he refers to playing a card game with "a young gentleman." I'm too lazy to search for more examples but perhaps you guys know what I mean. I you agree this is a trait, it should be mentioned either here or in the [[Writing]] article.
