Chris and language
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 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
Editors note - Mistakes Chris makes or would make while speaking any language. Things like using “ein“ instead of “eni" or how he reverses certain words like Pmurt.
CWC-isms
- Main article: 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 E-mail to Cole without telling him what it means. Oher words include "Noviophobia", "China" and "Ducks".

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.
Oration

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.
Writing
His writing is riddled with wrong spellings, bad grammar, unnecessarily capitalised words, wrong syntaxes and non-existant words.
Speaking

Others
Other than the two major languages Chris uses, he has tried dabbling in other languages.
Japanese

Chris being a 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.
| Japanese | Translated text | What Chris thought it said | Who said it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 私は同性愛者です Watashi wa dōseiai-shadesu |
I am a homosexual. | I concur. John Elder had quite the autistic share and flair. | Chris |
| お腹が空きました Onaka ga akimashita |
I'm hungry. | Quirky, but intellectual | Luna |
| お前はもう死んでいる Omae wa mō shindeiru |
You are already dead. | What a fascinating read. | Ami |
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
