Kiko, hon...you're in a different country now. Adapt to the local customs.
One of the biggest social customs is the use of the "/me" convention for chat emotes. It does come out as third person speech, so you shouldn't have trouble getting used to it.
Next time you're in chat or IM, try typing, without the quotation marks, "/me looks thoughtful and then smiles as she understands Lindal's advice."

From: Kiko Neiro Heh. I only do that with my friend. It was example of my natural skill with it.
That first person stuff makes me feel soooo degraded.
I arrived here from the MySpace chats, doing first person brands you a noob. Third person is the so called 'superior' way on myspace. The third person is what confuses them normally. Besides, while I dance I have a tendency to speak when spoken to especially around the louder girls. The lag keeps my typing appeared in slow 2-3 letters at a time. So my time doubles up then it's seven-fold when it is attempting to show in world. Um...doesn't matter where you came FROM, what matters is where you are now. If you feel "degraded" by the first person, then maybe you need to change careers. However, in SL, we talk in first person...so I kinda feel like saying...get over it. You choose to dance, then you need to do whatever it takes to be a dancer.
