Inuktitut phrase book tackles language barrier for visitors

So this is what Fraser has been doing in his spare time since he moved back home with Ray--writing phrasebooks!

Ray: Well, I'll be. The Inuit really don't have three hundred words for snow.
Fraser: I've been telling you the very same thing for years (repeatedly, I may add, although to be completely honest, you were asleep during some of those times).
Ray: Fraser, stop talking in parentheses. Nobody talks in parentheses.
Fraser: Understood.

This tiny conversation has a novel's worth of perfect characterization. Go YOU.

Hehee, thanks!
Note that Ray never actually admitted that Fraser was right. Poor thing, he's learning to be (almost) as good at deflection as Fraser.

ds_northernnews needs to have another challenge. There are way too many headlines like that. :)
