Luvies from,

Nono, Sori m'dear,
I believe that Erik has found a new moneymaking scheme. Not really sure how it works, but I'll bet my prized horse, Mr. Strawberry (I can explain! Raoul named him…), that it has something to do with stealing goose feathers from La Carlotta's hat and reselling them on eBay.
Am I right?

You sorry excuse for a ghost,
Is this true?1! Are you the one stealing my feathers?1
I want full compensation!
And a new hat! One of those pea green ones you see all the fashinable ladies wearing all over the streets.
Preferably with a pink bow.
And feathers. Lots of feathers.

My dear lady,
I'm afraid I did not take your feathers, although, now I wish that I did. Pray tell, do you mean the ones from that horrendously blue monstrosity you newly acquired? Ah, I remember now, from that Piangi person you've been seeing…
Pity, pity…
O.G.
PS. You can't possibly mean that green hat Christine was just simpering over. It's absolutely hideous! Honestly, I would have thought a diva of your standing would have better tastes. But then again, it's you...

Hmm… I know! My guess is that you two aren't actually married! I'm pretty sure that's it, since I broke into your room yesterday, Chrissie, and ran a complete virus scan on your computer. Now, everything's all set, and you won't have these ridiculous ideas of marrying stalker-lunatics anymore!
Luv,
Raoulsies

Monsieur de Chagny,
I would have thought you had more sense than this silly theory shows! Not only have you invented a ridiculous theory, but you threaten to ruin the new happiness of such a romantic couple. How dare you suggest such a silly thing! If Chrissie is happy with the O.G., then who are we to doubt them?

Not that it's your fault, Raoul, but you never were very bright. I know that it takes a while for you to process information…
I always knew those female-only pointe shoes (remember? You ones you threw a tantrum to get as a graduation present, just because you thought the ribbons were shiny) were going to ruin your feet, I just didn't know it was going to affect your intelligence too... -sigh-

Yep! Ding ding ding ding! Ewiky and I aren't actually married.. yet! We just thought this would be a nice, non-traditional way of declaring our engagement:-)
That's right! We're engaged! Hee.. now you all have to buy us engagement presents too!
Whee!

Meg dearie,
Hmm.. one thing I can think of is your e-mailing. Firstly, spell check before you send out your e-mails. Also, try to use bigger words when you can – for example, use "intelligent" instead of "smart", etc. – the thesaurus can be your best ally here.

Umm… I have two simple questions. One, where did you get this monstrosity, this tarnish on the face of the English (wait, or is it the French?) language? Two, what are you trying to communicate?
