I was mostly joking. I like the way Mancy talks.A lot of times it is like riddles but that makes it fun.
What I was really thinking but I didn't say is that whenever I watch videos of people in England, it seems like most of what they say are just repeating the same phrases or idioms all the time. And I guess all of them are using the same phrases as each other, and it seemed like there was very little said by them that isn't one of these shared phrases. It gives me the feeling that these same phrases or metaphors have been used by their people every day for hundreds of years and they all keep the tradition of saying the same thing. And for somebody who is not used to it, it kind of looks like talking in riddles.
America has never had this shared culture or shared tradition of language, so we don't often use the same phrases/idioms/metaphors as each other. People from all different parts of America may have some common phrases that are used in their own small area, but nothing that is real widely shared. So it seems to me like Americans all speak in ways that are much more independent and unique from each other and are also seeming more direct. I am not going to repeat some popular metaphor that is vaguely hinting to the idea I am thinking, and instead I am just going to directly say my idea. And this way of speaking much more directly is what seems easier to understand for me. And I think the riddles are more complicated.
I am not saying that either way is good or bad, and I am not saying that Mancy only talks by metaphors. I'm just saying that I have noticed this difference many times and it's interesting to think about.
I think we all have no qualms about Fancy. He makes things a bit interesting. His method of flowing words does occasionally raise a few eyebrows from time to time, but overall his message and portrayal of it is highly appreciated.
