Did you find yourself talking/thinking in the Dark Tower Language?

hehe ,, yep , i have found myself using 'the clearing at the end of the path' , since reading the Dark Tower, I've not lost anyone myself, but several friends have, I find it a gentle approach. Oh yeah, and a phrase from Talisman, I won't even say how many times I've read it, 'all will be well, all manner of things will be well' . I've used that phrase since the 80's.

"All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well" also was used in Wolves of the Calla. It's a famous quote from the medieval Catholic mystic known as Julian of Norwich.

As for myself, yes, I do sometimes like to use various phrases from TDT. I kind of wish that King had better developed the various dialects and kept them straight and separate from each other. He's not really the kind of person who has a way of thinking that is highly organized. However, he is highly creative, and has a great sense of style. The language in this series is definitely fun.

Personally, I'm always pretty deliberate in my use of words. It's just a matter of choice when I include bits of "High Speech" or Calla patois. Occasionally, though, I do come across a situation in which the word "ka" seems to fit better than any more conventional term.

No, I don't think or act like any characters in the DT - especially not after meeting that crazy kid in rehab back in '92 who was convinced he was actually Roland.

One of my friends lost a close personal belonging recently, and he rhetorically asked himself, "Why did I lose it?" I, not realizing the question was rhetorical, replied: "Ka."

A distant acquaintance, someone I had never talked about SK with (and reallly didn't know well at all) once said "Thankee-sai" to me...
