Re: 1st person vocative (was: Language universal?)

Does anyone in any language actually address the ego in intrapersonal [sic]
> communication?
Er...I sometimes address myself, but I use the *third* person--this being
not particularly uncommon in Korean, and I guess the habit carried over
into my English-speaking.  (Too bad reminding myself of things is
generally not, hmm, very effective.)  And then sometimes I slip from that
into the 2nd or 1st.  But probably saying things like "*Good* Yoon Ha.
*Don't* forget your socks."

(And yes, it's fairly easy to tell I'm weird.  =^p

  I always (well ok, informally) address myself as Elliott when speaking to people. As an example:

 Elliott really thinks that this was a bit too much about himself, Elliott
wants to go now ...... :)
