I disagree with every point about talking Sligs. For one thing, giving them intelligible conversation humanises and de-creepifies them. Also, the slig dialogue in MO was so corny and crap. And unless JAW hire a full-time writer only for the incidental dialogue, it's going to start repeating incredibly quickly, which immediately breaks the atmosphere and destroys suspension of disbelief.
