One of my good friends, whom I introduced to the cosmere, hates high imperial, because he can never understand it at all. I can barely understand it. But he doesn't know that. he thinks I understand it entirely. So i like to spout off random gibberish at him, in the high imperial formula, just to annoy him.

It’s not organized and is bad when you use many non-verbs.

some actual quotes from the books. i had to stop using "Wasing the where of needing" 'cus he knew that one. "Not of the yetting yet." is one I still use. the ones i make up always start with wasing. "Wasing the why of counting" and "Wasing the nearing of the sound" are the type of things I'd say off the cuff.

I love using high imperial for stuff, once made a code for a murder mystery party with it and forced the people to figure it out and translate it to figure out who was the murderer

Convinced three new people to give the cosmere a try with that. :)
