LOL, yeah that's it. Shakespear.
You'll have to trust me on this citizen since you clearly don't have English as a first language, they could use some help.

This,

And the Era argument, id rather not go through my adventure reading,

"Ay lad, wtch out fr dat trap ahd lke, its prpr killr, gt mssy if ya fall into tht lad"

Nor would I enjoy,

"There is a trap ahead, fall into it, and you will die"

But the more artsy, and as stated above, Shakespearian style of writing is very fitting - and this style of writing ALLOWS for a few mistakes, they are not noticeable, and even when they are, you can skim over them as "Shakespearian",

Unless of course your a time travel, and infact have a masters in "Shakespearian" style writing FROM "Shakespearian" times.

EDIT - Although thinking about it an, Old school, Hard Mode, Solo play, TEXT SPEAK MODE !!, would certainly add some flare for those fearless players ;)
