    Ya the writer is a Lalafell. It's okay in this instance and in the other articles for "The Mythril Eye".

    It does get over used in other instances though, say, when the speaker is not a Lalafell or isn't a linguist. It can get in the way in those instances but alliteration and other poetic devices are a part of the Lalafell culture so it's okay for Havak Alvak and other Lalafell who seem to go "overboard" with a particular poetic device. In XI, some would rhyme, some would use alliteration, some would just add -aru on the end. Some would had their own little "quirks" like adding -ethy or would make up words so they rhymed like Ned Flanders, but you knew you were talking to a Tarutaru when you read the text.

    Sometimes when I read the articles I think it's a Lalafell writing them, then it turns out to be a Miqo'te. That is when they should back off on the poetic devices a little more to differentiate the speaker from the Lalafell if they are not a Lalafell. Otherwise it just makes me think that the same writer is writing everything when they are supposed to be different characters.
