One of the suggestions in the forum, Soldier_Mike, was to have a character who repeats questions before answering them and/or who answers them in complete sentences.

C1: What color was the house?
C2: What color was the house? The house was white.

I can see that being useful, but do I want a character that does that in my story? Not a main one, for sure, but perhaps a minor one. Though I went through the Adoption Society threads on the NaNo site and got literally nearly 100 suggestions and ideas, so I don't think I'll be running low on ideas before I hit my 50k. (She says innocently...not knowing what trauma next week holds. lol)
