Please provide glossing that makes it possible for others to linguistically parse your translation.

Your lists seem to be missing users with a special rank, such as MVPs and moderators.

Protruded vs compressed rounded vowels. To be fair, it doesn't seem like this forms the basis for phonemic contrasts in any natlangs, but I could see it work in a conlang. In Swedish you get close, with /y/ being protruded and /ʉ/ being compressed (as the latter is fronted, they end up quite near ea...

Hi, Aevas! It's been a while since you've posted here. Hello! It has. Where was that CBB wiki hosted? And was it closed down automatically due to inactivity, or did people decide to close it so that they don't have to (pay to?) host it if it wasn't being used? It was hosted by me on the same site a...

It seems that there is a pervasive idea that the CBB was founded in some kind of opposition to the ZBB. I can decidedly deny this; there has never been any animosity from my part towards the ZBB or its administration. There is truth to Salmoneus' observations about perceived tone and insideryness on...

There actually was a CBB wiki back in 2006-2007 or so. But not many people used it, so it was closed down.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not certain Finnish actually had θ > ts. As I understand it, [θ] was spelled <tz> and later <ts>, and this became the basis for a spelling pronunciation in the standard language, which was influenced by Swedish speakers. The sound [θ] had previously devel...

Must be. I've fixed it now, thanks for catching it!

I would guess "missed/forgotten". I'll put it on my to-do list..!

The fun fact is that both are built from perfectly cognate words.

A quick google search suggests to me that both words can be used in both senses in both languages?

I've removed the old Mississippi icon. If someone wants to make a new one with the new flag we can add that, but on the other hand I don't think I've ever seen this icon used to begin with? Ooh, an excuse to procrastinate? [:P] Will this work? https://i.imgur.com/SDNNQGB.png Hah! Yes, of course. I'...

It's semantics is still interesting. How does 'another day' start meaning 'the day before yesterday'. Actually, 'second' might be a better translation. The construction (the) other [unit of time] seems to be recurrent in several European languages, at least, when referring to units of time further ...

It would be nice to have phpBB a tag for glossing, like the one the ZBB has. phpBB comes with its own mechanism to make new tags with HTML replacements. Here is what the ZBB uses. The phpBB code: [gloss={TEXT2}]{TEXT1}[/gloss] and this is the HTML replacement entered into the relevant phpBB admin p...

Same in Swedish ones. The capital of Korea used to be spelled Söul, which is the same as in older German.

I deleted two posts from a spambot, and a reply to them.

Youtube's default setting is to hold potentially offensive comments and spam for review (you can change it to allow all comments being published immediately). So if you go to the Held for review tab, you might find some lost comments there. It is also my impression that you'll still be notified of c...
