the questions of our times: formality and vampires

[rm]

This, thanks to a discussion started by weirdquark. Please do visit the comments where you will learn many things including the many ways formality is structured in different languages (something my questions did not fully take into account, and I apologize for that), werewolf pack dynamics considerations, and whether there are vampires in France.

Okay, now we *really* need to go off in a dark corner and talk, while consuming bizarre beverages and foodstuff. Unless you're not into that?

Totally okay with being lab-ratted. It's like paying back for all the times I've engaged in the other direction. (I figure that's a big part of what other people are for...I like engaging in active culture "tourism", with aware and engaged participants.)

I hadn't considered the in-built formality cues until just moments ago, so this has been a fantastic conversation. (Thanks, rm!)

I am insanely into that. I could geek about this kind of thing for hours. Hours, I tell you!

It must be my birthday. (Yes! That's exactly it. I just have this appetite for, feed me information! Patterns! I crave patterns of behavior garnished with the occasional random quirk!)

*waves* Thanks, rm!
