It's probably not the best example, but it gets the point across. Either way, of all the issues that writers struggle with, this is probably the biggest.

What would you say to ...
Jane really hated Jonny's egotistical nature...
or
"You not freaking God, no matter what you think! You <censor blah blah blah>!" yelled Jane.
