Consistency In NPCs
#1
So, as I have learned, Roland talks like a total fucking psycho to most people. Like most people have done and will continue to do, I neglected to read the entirety of the primary source for an NPC. Tisk tisk, shame on me, yes, I know. However, this is, and will continue to be, common. As a result of this collective ignorance to primary sources, other writers have also written Roland's speech like I have: NOT CRAZY. So, in order to remedy this, I've included into the story a write around. Essentially, Roland speaks in the High Speak (the sort of language/accent/dialect of English spoken in the Dark Tower series) only in private, or to himself. He speaks in what he's learned is the "regular way" most of the time, especially when dealing with his Sheriffly tasks. He's like an immigrant that occasionally goes into his native language when it slips his mind. That smooths out the inconsistency.

The reason I tell this story is because I'm curious what everyone's opinions(/rules) are on the subject of NPC consistency. Should we be submitting amendment requests for the NPC profiles? Do we want to just let those inconsistencies sort of fade away as we ignore them (which seems to be what most people do)? My intention is less a matter of making rules and just curiosity what everyone's thoughts are.
