The small ones here use this "lilspeak" as its been termed in this thread. Why? I suspect b/c it allows them to converse with other littles from other systems they interact with daily & feel part of a peer group in a way that they cannot feel as biokids would feel. IE: they're not in childrens bodys, they can't show it in many ways that they arechildren. Its harmless anyway & although I know some find it annoying *I did at first shrugs but I acclimatized* is it any worse than say rappers using the speech & slang they use when talking to one another?
I do understand what squng & saturnikitty & duathir are getting at here. But I put this issue in the same category as I put any group of ppl who communicate with their own different set of spellings/pronunciations/grammatical structure, which is to say I see it as just another form of communication for that group. I don't see it as wrong or really in any way different than if they used sign language or street slang that is common to certain parts of our communities.
