Since no one has mentioned this yet, I won't like to mention that Percy is Dyslexic (and probably more so than other people) which is why he doesn't pronounce words properly. And of course being Dyslexic does not mean you're dumb. I don't know if you're trying to imply that but if you are, shame on you. I understand that Percy's dyslexia was certainly a factor in his pronunciation inability - no, I'm not attempting to imply that those with dyslexia are somehow automatically stupid - not at all! Yet Percy's lack of intellect has been demonstrated in other ways as well, however, mainly by his rather unsophisticated (and, in my opinion, lame) sense of humor, and by his admitted inability to understand more than 10% of a rather simple explanation that Leo gave him (which requires no technical or scientific expertise whatsoever to understand).
