It seems to that character speech patterns are one of the best ways to communicate certain aspects of your character. Accents, vocabulary, "catch phrases", and the like can help define a character and give other people around you an idea of the character, in particular their mental acuity.

The question to me then becomes when do these things become more of a distraction to role-play then an enhancement to them?

Accents that no one can reason out, using words that no one has heard of before, or just butchering the language so bad as to become impossible to understand, long rambling speech that presents noticeable "gaps" while we wait for it to come out, similar to the emote thread.

So let’s talk about... talking!
