Re: One World Language

I brought this up because there are people, today, who are have no problem calling for a centralized world governing structure. And we should not kid ourselves, these individuals have the influence to buy up everything, both around and underneath us, with zero moral dilemma. We will even be convinc...

Re: Silicon-based life

Or perhaps (d) they have some radical biological difference from us directly relevant to the psychology and sociology of the species, such as no genders or three genders, which would result in a different conception of gender roles? Here is an excellently worked out fictional species (with only one...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

Kind of an "abstract" question, but... The more I look into Nostratic and Borean and whatnot, the more I realise that regardless of whether or not the proposed macrofamilies were ever actually real or not, at least in Eurasia there seem to be some vague and elusive-to-the-point-of-probabl...

Re: Lexicon-phonology relationship

I'm trying to create a conlang in which the lexical meaning of each word is somewhat encoded into the word's pronunciation. My goal would be that if two words sound alike, there is a high chance that they mean something similar; it should thus be possible to understand what a word means just by hea...

Re: What are you listening to/watching?

Listening to Relaxing Foggy Forest (Virtual Drive) / Rain Storm and Thunder Sounds. Unlike other rain videos, this one shows actual movement through the forest. Wonderful! I wish I were there, right in this weather.

This is wrong. And our world is the way it is because most normal people don't want to accept that NOT EVERYONE has emotions.

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

As I noted earlier, I would say - or at least write - " a round", not "round". Maybe this is the tone you're going for, but to me, "round" looks very informal, like the writer is trying to represent a spoken shortening of " a round". Although maybe this is ju...

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I don't think that's an accurate summation. If someone said "He showed her around in the ship" it would sound like a trafficking scheme of some sorts. That's how a non-native could interpret that sentences. Typically just "he showed her around the ship" means that she is being g...

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I agree. Although "shows her around in the ship" is also possible. But would probably mean something like "he showed her around [his collection of belleek] in the ship", rather than showing her the parts of the ship itself. I can also maybe imagine something like someone complai...

Leo gives "to show so. round" for German "jmdn. herumführen". Is it ok to write "He shows her round in the ship" or is it "He shows her round the ship"? I'd say " a round" and without "in", so "He shows her around the ship". I ag...

Is it ok to write "He shows her round in the ship" or is it "He shows her round the ship"?
