Description on Chubfrom Chub

I've seen so many behavior/anatomy lorebooks for children (of debatable accuracy), but I've yet to see one for speech. I'm sure many have run into the Toddler Professor problem. A 3 year old should not be talking like they have a freaking doctorate. This lorebook is INTENDED to fix that and keep children talking at their appropriate levels. I reorganized the categories slightly so the ages were better fits for them (toddler used to be 4-5, now it's 2-3, and 4-5 is preschool instead of 6-7 being preschool).

Lolisho Speech is intentionally made to be general purpose. It can be used for either SFW or NSFW. I feel people should be able to enjoy themselves on here. Before anyone asks, no I will not be updating it to better support NSFW. If someone else wants to make that fork, you're more than welcome to. Just give credit where it's due, please.

This is my very first lorebook. It probably sucks. If it does, tell me so I can work on fixing it. Criticism is appreciated. Tell me what works, tell me what doesn't. And if you wanna share, I'd love to know how my book is being used.

Enjoy this gift attempt from the degenerate fool K1ng_P3rv
