Lol - they aren't that scary - I think on average nouns have one syllable more than in English.
I don't know if they abbreviate them in books, but in your mind it's hard to abbreviate
Vous in French at least has 1 syllable, not 4 !
I think it would work.
In my view polite pronouns are only used when addressing someone in a formal situation, someone much older than you (you're 20 and they're 60) or someone you consider superior to you.
