[UPDATE] Scarlett Kite 8 April

It's not you. Actually I find her whole language usage a bit strange, but that's probably being overly suspicious on my part. I assume they don't speak English (is this wrong?) so she must've learned in a teen chat room.

I'm not convinved by the whole "photographs are old hat" spiel in her latest post. I think there's something else going on.

More titbits about the key as well...

confirmed as used for ID purposes, but can also receive

Also, if you were her, wouldn't you either be frustrated or amused by the fact that our major media thinks this is all a game? I mean at some point you'd think she'd mention "Hey, you guys are silly!" or "What's wrong with you people?!" or something. Instead she's pointing to articles that state it isn't real and acting like she's all excited about them even though they're wrong. (If this has already been covered I apologize, just struck me as odd.)

To extend my point...if keys are used for communication...it's going to alter your language (txt etcetera ad infinitum). Less requirement for speech.

Presumably the Sentinel (for example) is downloaded directly to subscribers brains (confirmed by the key) and they have to wiggle their noses like Tabitha in Bewitched in order to turn a page. (sorry)

So the fella with the virus infected key that was relieved not to have lost any data was effectively relieved not to have been lobotomised!

Sorry to bang on like some cynical old fart, but someting's amiss here, as far as I'm concerned. Sente is desperate to regain the cube and is coming under serious pressure from people in perlex city to get on with it. But instead of any sense of urgency, we get coy emails that don't tell us much and the witterings of his teenaged daughter, who's treating the whole thing like a sixth form project. I can't help feeling that if these people were serious about getting the cube back that they'd be a little more direct.

As I see it, there are four possible explanations for the language thing:

1. The Academy's translating all the communications.

2. Perplex City has much more advanced automatic translation than we do.

3. The realities are similar enough that they share a language (very unlikely)

4. They've been watching us so long that they've picked up our language, either as a replacement for theirs or as a second language.

I've counted seven "amazing"s in her regular posts, and one in the "About This Site" section. Three of them were italicized, and one was bolded.

Okay, this is almost certainly coincidence, but it's just such a weird one that I had to share it. I noticed that she mentioned "photographs of leaves," so I entered "leaves" into Google Images. The second result that came up was a photo on amazing.com
