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.

If anyone would talk in parentheses it would be Fraser.

Ooooh, I want one of these! *grabby hands*

Hey! As someone who talks (or posts) in parenthesis quite regularly...I resemble that remark! :-)

And yes, Fraser would totally do that in his spare time, the big nerd.

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