People, how do we know that Eric uses the same writing style as the mermen and women? Think about it, even if they spoke the same exact language, the two cultures developed separately and would have created their own unique systems for writing. However, the most logical answer is usually the right one. The question was posed (the same thing I asked at age 6 when the movie was new, btw) – why doesn’t Ariel just write things down? We clearly see Ariel sign her name on Ursula’s contract, and I used to ponder why she didn’t just grab a stick and write in the sand off the bat.
Okay, everyone has been freaking out about the Little Mermaid recently.
