(What the crap?)

So I guess we need to have a discussion on what do on in these very rare cases when The Cheat says something clearly comprehensible. My opinion, as I've made clear, is that we should just write the words normally, especially in a case like this where it couldn't possibly be more obvious that he's saying real words. Reasons being:

  1. It still conveys, in my opinion, that he's saying it in a The-Cheat-noise-like way— the automatically-generated italics and parentheses help with that.
  2. As I said in my edit summary, the simpler the better. It's much easier to read and comprehend "(What the crap?)" than "(The Cheat noises that sound unmistakably like 'What the crap?')". Too long, Clanky.

I suppose this could also apply to the instance in coloring (although to me it's slightly less obvious in that case). The transcript is another matter altogether. Let's discuss. Lira (talk) 21:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
