T-Rex: Folks will occasionally publish a story in which a particularly conspicuous orthographic symbol is missing.
T-Rex: I know a handful of justifications for doing this!
T-Rex: It's fun to scout out any limits in your wording (artificial or not) and, in doing so, hit upon an additional, unfamiliar form of communication! And it's a joy to find that, with this unusual linguistic format now at your disposal, talking with this constraint is just as normal to you now as talking without it was!
Dromiceiomimus: It's tricky to sound natural, though.
T-Rex: No doubt!
Utahraptor: But do you actually obtain anything by talking in such a way?
T-Rex: Obviously!
T-Rex: You NOT ONLY gain faculty with odd word inclinations, if that is actually a faculty, but you also gain all sorts of skills: talking skills, thinking quickly skills, and, um... an opportunity to publish a dictionary for folks with similar fascinations?
Utahraptor: Huh.
Off panel: I still think it's not half as striking as if you didn't say a particular word for a bit - say, "frig"?
T-Rex: Utahraptor! Do you truly ask that I dismiss my many plans for my tomb to proclaim "THIS MAN SAID 'FRIG' A LOT AND, YOU GUYS, IT WAS SO RAD"?
T-Rex: As I will NOT
