post-Potter dialect

The effect of reading a Harry Potter book all day. Then through instant messenger or verbal conversation, the reader speaks in ultra-proper english, that of fantasy book characters.

"What did you do today?"
"I called into work this morning and slept until about 4pm. Upon waking up the fever had subsided and my throat was much better."
"Cool"
"Yes, thank goodness. This week is sure to be hell anyway, glad i don't have to fair it while sick."
"Dude, lay off the potter. You've got post-Potter dialect syndrome"
