what the heck is with people's love of referring to characters by anything but their name?
Very, very, very bad composition/writing teachers. Using names is repetitive, using pronouns is repetitive, using "said" is repetitive. (Rinse, repeat. >.> ) I see the reasoning behind it, where the students are supposed to be encouraged to be creative and expand their writing beyond the basic sentence but OMG is it often so poorly implemented.
