User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/CONTENT RELEASE: New short story released, plus updated TCO prologue/@comment-82555-20100302015147

I don't know if always having that would be a good idea because you'd need to always keep the dialogue semi-simple to avoid any confusion. Or just have the character state the question in the answer, but that would get repetitive.

The Dark Lord's reminds me a lot of the old book series, Animorphs. There was a species in the story that spoke the same way. Except the reader could still read the dialogue.
