Chris's communication skills, like most other things related to Chris, leave much to be desired.
CWC-isms
As noted in the main article, Chris has a tendency to make up his own words for things, and then use them with reckless abandon, assuming whoever is reading will be able to understand exactly what he means. As such we get terms like "B-dog" and "noviophobia". He also tends to appropriate existing words and give them new meanings based entirely on his own logic, which is why navy isn't a sea-based military force and China isn't an Asian nation.
This, like many other aspects of his personality, demonstrates exactly how self-centered Chris is. While the whole purpose of language is to express thoughts and ideas to other people, Chris has managed to create an entire vocabulary that only makes sense to himself.
Written Language
It only takes a glance at anything Chris has written to determine that Chris isn't a very good writer. While punctuation and spelling mistakes are frequent, the problems go deeper than that. One of the most frequent issues is his use of excessive run on sentences, suggesting that he writes or types exactly what comes to his mind without taking time to make sure it reads well. A single sentence might cover multiple topics, often ones that don't have anything to do with the subject matter at hand. This gives the writings of Chris, a rambling, disjointed feeling, to the point at which it often becomes difficult to understand exactly what his point is.
Chris is also obviously afraid that whatever he's feeling won't be adequately conveyed through his words. He tries to make up for this by relying on ALL CAPS and repeating himself.
“ | And the ONLY REASON I have not had sex yet in my lifetime WITH A WOMAN yet, is because the WHOLE TIME, I have been SHY; kept down with the Personal Fear of nearly EVERY Woman I see being Already Paired-Up with a Boyfriend. | ” |
Chris proving that he never proofreads. From the CWCkipedia article on homosexuality. |
Another thing that makes Chris nearly incomprehensible is his complete lack of understanding of syntax and semantics. He frequently uses words in the wrong context or as incorrect parts of speech, and his grammar is abhorrent.
“ | I, Christian Weston Chandler...look forward to [AXE] making me smell better to attract, and keep one of, women to be my sweetheart. | ” |
Chris, making no fucking sense |
Spelling
Amongst all the other problems with Chris's Writing, his poor spelling somehow manages to stand out. It doesn't come to any surprise that he can't spell for shit. Although not as bad when compared to his art, since he is mentally challenged, he seems to manage to screw up correctly spelling a word that should be easy to spell. Such examples of his spelling mistakes are "mies" (miles), "geinus" (genius; it should be noted that the incorrect spelling of this word inevitably makes it sound like another word) and "dood" (good).
