Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē

[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

Would the prose poem "kupu rere kē" pay child support?

Pytlík je mega bard-coded, všechno dal do charisma a nemá žádné jiné vysoké staty takže musí všechno jet přes persuasion (additionally jestli je nějaká postava z Ferdy která by zkoušela něco na draka byl by to Pytlík) ale přemýšlím jaká dnd classa by byl Ferda

S jeho vynálezy možná artificer ale nevím nevím

Můj skromný názor je že Beruška by byla nějaká support classa která odmítá supportit, třeba cleric a vždycky když někdo potřebuje healnout je jakože "Neumíš se o sebe postarat sám?!?! To tady všechno musím dělat já?!?!?" a uzdraví ho až když dělá death rolls

Trumbelínek by byl fighter, páč hází ruce na počkání

Actually možná nedokážu vymyslet classu pro Ferdu protože by byl jako jediný z postav schopen DMovat

Faldík je monk z velice specifického důvodu který nebudu rozvádět

Arambula je rogue

Cvrček je actually použitelný bard

Koník (ano, Ferdův luční koník) je druid I don't make the rules
