==Chris and language==
Done all of this.
'''Languages''' are systems of communication consisting of units of meaning (i.e. words) arranged in a structured and conventional way. Chris has yet to learn how to communicate effectively, and therefore is incredibly poor at any language he uses.
 
Living in the US all his life, Chris uses English as his primary language in both writing and discourse. He also learned Spanish as a second language, although poorly due to lack of practice. He has also used some phrases and words from other languages and has shown interest in learning Japanese.
 
Chris commits multiple mistakes in both writing and speaking due to a variety of reasons. Chris stopped speaking at the [[Abusive babysitter|age of 1]], and he didn't start again until the very late age of 7 years. Chris barely has any interaction with other humans offline. His autism and literal thinking also contributes to this problem; he takes sentences at face value, not thinking of any implication or hidden meanings in the sentence.
 
Chris is somewhat better at writing than speaking, since Chris writes more often than he speaks, and writing allows him to read over what he says before he presses ''send''. Still, Chris's writing is riddled with grammatical, semantic, and literary flaws.
 
 
===Common problems===
 
====CWC-isms====
{{Main|CWC-isms}}
Chris has a habit of creating new words and using them without explaining what they mean in conversations. The CWC-ism "[[Tugboat]]" was used by Chris in an [[Cole Smithey E-mails|E-mail to Cole]] without telling him what it means. Oher words include "[[Noviophobia]]", "[[China]]" and "[[Duck|Ducks]]".
 
====Writing====
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
In all languages, Chris's writing suffers from a lack of vocabulary, and using long words to attempt to sound intelligent, but often using them incorrectly, having the opposite effect. His unnecessary detailing and staggered flow can make reading his literary works cumbersome.
 
=====Penmanship=====
In contrast to the formless nature of his artwork, Chris has halfway-decent penmanship. Still, he often writes the wrong letter and ends up having to either scribble over it or "fudge" it into another letter. This has caused him to replace the handwriting in the comic with Comic Sans lettering in order to make it more legible. Though since issue 12-9 he has switched to Proxima Nova.
 
====Oration====
{{Main|Chris and oratory}}
In all languages, Chris has a lack of vocabulary knowledge, and a stutter, that cause it to be rather difficult to understand him oftentimes.
 
===English===
{{Main|English}}
Editors note - For discussing his problems in english
 
English is the most widely spoken language on Earth and Chris living in the USA should have been a master at it. Sadly, Chris's grasp on english is tenuous at best. His communication skills have suffered from a lack of vocabulary and heavy speech impediments including stuttering. Whilst singing and muttering prove as large obstacles to understanding Chris's speech, that's the least of the problems when it comes to Chris's communication skills.
 
====Writing====
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
His writing is riddled with wrong spellings, bad grammar, unnecessarily capitalised words, wrong syntaxes and non-existant words. He also sometimes reverses words, to exemplify some kind of significance, such as Pmurt, which is just Trump backwards, because he didn't like the United States President at the time.
 
His fondness of big words and semicolons despite his childlike writing style causes some of his writings to be very difficult to understand. He also has a poor concept of flow in his writing, often over-detailing things that are lack significance, leading one to lose their place in the story; Even in action sequences, Chris will sometimes explain something in excruciating detail, even though brevity and verbs are essential to keep the flow of the action going.
 
He also has problems with foreshadowing, as he can often foreshadow things which are irrelevant to the plot, or never following up, missing the point of the writing device in the first place. This causes his literary works such as the Sonichu comics to be very difficult to follow. Chris also has difficulty implementing exposition, often exposing unnecessary details and doing so in a very unsubtle manner.
 
His difficulty interacting with [[reality]] also causes Chris to conclude that his characters are real, making it ethical for them to never experience any difficulty or hardship, not realising that this can produce boring and tedious plots, with absolutely no conflict whatsoever. 
 
====Speaking====
{{Main|Chris and oratory|Speech impediment}}
Unfortunately, Chris usually has a hard time speaking, whether it's due to his nervousness or a speech impediment, it all stems from his [[autism]]. However, he also has inherited some regional dialect, such as the use of 'em and y'all, and omits the letter "t" when it is too much effort to pronounce, a common trait of American English.
 
The other problems have may originate from high-frequency hearing loss that Chris experienced as a young child, or perhaps he simply has [[Wikipedia:Cluttering|tachyphemia]], which seems to explain a lot of the symptoms.
 
The main problems Chris has outside of dialect are:
*Frequent sighing and ums and uhs.
*Stuttering.
*Speaking too quickly and slurring words, this behaviour is characteristic of children.
*Occasional [[Wikipedia:Spoonerism|spoonerism]].
*Trouble pronouncing post-vocalic Ls, resulting in examples such as medal being pronounced "meadow".
*Trouble pronouncing the letter "X" (/ks/ or /gz/), as well as related consonantal digraphs (/sk/, /st/), pronouncing it either as an "/s/" sound (elision) or as a "/t͡s/" sound (fronting). Pronouncing box as bots and six as sits.
*Trouble pronouncing "th", usually pronouncing it "d", even when it's not intentional.
 
===Spanish===
{{Main|Spanish}}
 
Despite learning Spanish for two years, Chris has often made rather basic errors in the language, some examples include:
*Using "ein" instead of "ien", a bad habit Chris has borrowed from his English writing ability, a common example of this is "bien", Chris would instead write "bein", the difference between them is easily notices by saying them out loud.
*Only using the present indicative tense, causing sentences that are set in different tenses to sound wrong.
*Being very inconsistent with punctuation and accents that are unique to the language.
 
===Others===
Other than the two major languages Chris uses, he has tried dabbling in other languages.
 
====Japanese====
[[File:Drawing_with_Japanese_text_(second_upload).png|thumb|Chris making an entire nation proud]]
Chris being a [[Japanophilia|Japanophile]], has shown interest in learning japanese. He also uses the popular japanese words like “Kawaii" and "Senpai".
 
In [[November 2017]], he released a drawing of him and [[Sailor Moon]] having a conversation in Japanese. The dialog was provided by the [[Idea Guys]] and the dialog therefore is filled with memes and lewd remarks.

The last line is a reference to the manga/[[anime]] ''Fist of the North Star''.
 
The text on the bottom is possibly: "You look like the kind of person who fucks a guy in the ass and doesn't have the courtesy to ejaculate inside him," which Chris thought was "Smart hearts; smart minds; well-educated support."
 
====Yiddish====
Not a language Chris has shown interest in per se, but he has used the phrase “Oy Vey“ multiple times. It has a slight anti-semitic undertone, the translation is "Shut it". He has stopped using it due to him no longer being (openly) anti-semitic
