Some sentences are very long, so I broke them up so the page won't have a horizontal scroll bar. The person inserting the text should make sure there are no unnecessary breaks.--Tobiast88 09:00, 12 March 2008 (PDT)

X The servant VS Servant X

I'm actually wondering whichever of the 2 form (for example: Servant Genji, or Genji, the servant) is the best way. In my opinion, I feel that "Servant X" flows better as the status (very important in the context) has some emphasis as the first word. This has a stark contrast with the family members who all have "Ushiromiya" as a starter, while the rest are either "Servant" or "Physician". This format gives some "social status" difference in a subtle way.

The other point is also the fact that "the servant" behind has a weird effect (well on me in fact), as reading the name means almost like reading "there is only one servant", so reading several time differences servants descriptions leaves a strange feeling behind that.

I guess it is a matter of preference, but I believe "Servant X" form flows better than "X, the servant". What do you think, everyone? Klashikari 09:51, 15 March 2008 (PDT)
