My natural speech mannerism and vocabulary are rather unusual, and I really wish they weren't because of the above. People automatically write you off as trying too hard, or taking the mickey. It's lead to not only many an awkward moment (like the time i enthusiastically asked the skateboarder "How does one learn to skateboard?"), or, more commonly, now I'm aware of my bizzare way of speaking, painful silences or monosyllabic responses, because I'm too scared to talk to people now.
English is my first language, but casual vernacular does not come naturally to me. It probably comes of moving schools 13 times and missing out on grammer lessons altogether as every school taught at a different range. Always the new kid with her nose in a book, makes for a complete lack of casual conversational skills.
Yeah, I understand that ppl don't like Wil, he's awkward, shy and different.
Funily enough, I hated Dora to begin with. She didn't have the same depth of character as Faye and Marten.
I'd say Steve would be my least favourite. He comes in the story, and you think he's going to get some air time.... then he disappears. He's Martens best friend, and I thought he's be more deserving of some character development, but now I'm beginning to think he's just a filler token male to balance the abundence of women in the QC world. Shame.

That's actually why I like Wil. Plus poetry.Yay!
I like Dora and Marten as a couple, but I agree that Dora's character lacks the developement of Marten and Faye.
I didn't like Natasha at all, or that girl Steve was dating recently, can't remember her name just now.
Plus: I was just thinking that I wondered what happened to Angus 'cause I really liked him and TADA! He has returned! :-D

I definitely agree with you there - for such a long-running character I'd have expected more from him, and he does seem a bit token I feel bad for saying that though because I think he's based on a real person? Not sure where I got that from!
And I'm pro-Wil; I love poetry and awkward guys, although he's definitely melodramatic with it.

She's a bitch, without having Faye's endearing pushiness. And she always thinks she's right! But rather than start a thread bitching out Penelope, I figure everyone's probably got one character they love to hate. So, share yours, and your reasons if you've got them, in here.

I wrote comments for the report cards on Sunday, for one of my students, I wrote:
--- Quote ---XXXXXX likes to pretend he's just another jock, but behind that insouciant facade is a nerd waiting to burst forth. [long comment deleted] ... oh, and tell XXXXXX that he has to know what 'insouciant' and 'facade' mean for class tomorrow.

I'm sort of anti-Sven, actually. Even if he's witty, charismatic, intelligent, and all that other stuff, I really don't care. He's still a dick. And, I'm pro-Wil as well, so I don't really enjoy seeing Sven pick on him.
I agree with what others said about Faye losing her wit recently, but I'm still personally cool with her.
-edit-
Oh, altered_carbon also posted about Sven.
