Curious why some talk in the third person in their profiles... Feb 16 06 07:39 am Link That is an affectation to appear more sophisticated.

Greg will have to make an appointment and do lunch with them. He'll get back with you. Feb 16 06 08:05 am Link Thank you all for the responses. I was curious because a photographer I've worked with suddenly started doing that and I know he writes his own stuff. Thanks! Feb 16 06 08:07 am Link Moraxian would never talk in the 3rd person. It's something Moraxian just does not do. (Yes, this is me being silly... pay it no mind) Feb 16 06 08:08 am Link Cynthia2 wrote: an overflated value of self...it is taught that when man first gazed upon God...he asked who am i, instead of who are you...ego and vanity.

Feb 16 06 01:41 pm Link As I've stated in the past, Speaking in 3rd person does one of two things: It makes one look lordly and elegant (at least in attempt) like: "Todd thinks that this wine is corked and has gone bad... would you please serve him the '47 and discard in an appropriate manner, the '46?" Or... it makes a person look like a doofus... Example: "Todd no like wine! Him like grape juice!! Yes, Todd like grape juice tons!" Ususally, 3rd person talk comes out like the latter; I love reading those profiles (I mean: "Todd love reading words on people!!"). Keep em' coming!
