Talk:Chris and English
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 Clydec 21:33, 21 October 2009 (CEST)
- Good point. --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.--Beat 21:50, 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. Clydec 03:53, 22 October 2009 (CEST)
- "Seinor" is one he does consistently. --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. --Champthom 06:00, 23 October 2009 (CEST)
- It didn't even occur to me. My bad. --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." --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. --Champthom 04:33, 2 December 2009 (CET)
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. . --Scarletdragon 23:21, 2 December, 2009 (CET)
