My explanation for Eva not recognizing Marco's thought-speak is that thought-speak mimics how our voices normally are, and Marco's had dropped since he was eleven.
 

Eva had previously seen Marco in book 15, when she and Edriss though that Marco had been taken as a controller.

For like, two minutes, during which he said like ten words. And also Eva was flipping out at seeing her son as a Controller.

Is "Controller" a proper noun? Are we suppose to capitalize it? And what is the hyphen rule for "x-Controller"? Like, is writing "Hork-Bajir-Controller" proper grammar?

     I always write it as Controller. I haven't read a book where they wrote it as Hork-Bajir-Controller. But I don't know.

My question is how can thoughts be projected into someone else's brain?! I mean, normally thoughts are confined to the person thinking them. What is the underlying science behind thought-speak? And what is the difference between regular thought-speak and a mirrorwave? (whatever THAT is...)

Thanks.

Oh, and I don't have a problem with capitalizing the C in Controller, but what I DO take problem with is with humans, it's spelled with the h uncapitalized. Shouldn't it be Human-Controllers? In fact, it even said so in the first book.

You're just looking for an excuse to hit someone's hands with a ruler aren't you?

What was the Prince of Egypt reference?

There is at least one book where 'Hork-Bajir-Controller' is used...I just don't know which it is. The narrator's talking about how they don't usually use the term because all hork-bajir were controllers except the free colony.

In book 35, The Proposal, Marco (as a mountain goat) tells Visser One "Not to go all Prince of Egypt on you, but... Behold!" And Erek takes his cue and "reveals" the free Hork-Bajir colony via hologram. (Actually covering up a boring nothing gulch with an illusion of the colony.) This tips Visser One off and she comments that most Andalites wouldn't make such blatant pop-culture references.
