I picked this line out of a post by Austin in the Analogy thread -- it was in a little ditty about Stephen Hawking.

The #1 admonishment both in our household and at school is, "SLOW DOWN!" I believe that we have made ZERO progress thus far in getting him to slow down his speech. NONE!

Once in awhile (OK, every third time) he'll get frustrated and S-L-O-W it waaaay down to be a jerk about it, but we can't seem to get him to compromise on a speed somewhere this side of light speed.

Does the "Hawkingese" ever get better?
