Thanks for the nice comments! I did make the bookmarks. The card was an actual super-sized card. I just cut it so the rounded corners were cut off. (My other partner for the newbie swap got the other half.)

Oh, Rose just thinks that third person is a fun way to talk about herself. It makes her seem less self-involved, and more like it's someone else praising her or whatever. And it is unlikely that she is mentally ill, although sometimes the people around her aren't so sure. The nitpicking of grammar mostly relates to conjugating verbs and misplaced commas, and less to do with what person a person speaks in. You also think that second person is fun, although you must admit it's a little confusing in this situation and you plan on stopping soon.

Jen, the Angry Spinner, was, like Jo an, also wondering why Rose writes in the third person. Jen wonders why a person whose hobbies include "nitpicking the grammar of those around her" would chose to use the third person. Jen is happy that Rose appears to be third person singular, thus likely not mentally ill, just quirky. However, Jen notices that she is referring to herself in the third person, and suspects that Rose is contagious. :-) --Jen aka Angry Spinner

I'm curious about your profile - you have chosen to write in the third person. Is there a reason for this?
