"with prejudice" (As in the Wikipedia verdict "Delete with prejudice")

Can I participate? If you can resist the sandboxer urge to scrap a conpeople and their conlang as soon as you get bored with it, sure! Lehola planets and cultures are in for the long term. Got any ideas for the name of your planet and its solar system? What tyashus (i.e. sapient species) are its sa...

https://hybridsrising.com/Hybrid-Project/Hybrids-Rising-Brown-Dwarfs-HP.html I have officially made it so that that are Brown Dwarfs in the Lehola Galaxy! (No, not the star type, the alien type.) I have added a new word onder SAPIENTS in my Master Species List. The count of sapient words in the big ...

:eng: moreish adj - (UK, of food or drink) causing one to want more; addictive I heard this on a baking Youtube channel when a host was describing a brownie. I thought they’d said “Moorish,” and the subtitles (auto-generated) did too, but Wiktionary came to the rescue. I first learned this word in ...

Thank you

You're welcome. And a happy birthday to my friend Antonio today.

A happy twenty-fourth to Kai!

"apocryphal" What it means? What does it mean? "Apocryphal" is an adjective that's used to describe something a lot of people doubt is genuine. The scene with the three witches making a brew in Macbeth is apocryphal, for instance, because a lot of scholars really doubt that Shak...

Kankonian reached 101,112 words with kahili, meaning "kahili". It's a borrowing from Hawaiian (duh).

Now I want to make the Txabao believe in this pseudoscience about the medicinal value of camel urine!

Shit, that makes me feel old! Think about this: the oldest Millennials are turning 45 this year. Adam Levine, Ryan Tedder, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Pink, Joel & Benji Madden, Marc Roberge, Tom Higgenson, Daniel Johns, Brandy Norwood, Corinne Bailey Rae, and yours truly. Even Aaliyah w...

I played the Finnish version of Wordle game with difficult words. The word was "siepi". I googled and it seems to be a fish and 'Common dace' in English. I've heard of dace before (the common dace is called batsha in Kankonian), but I didn't know the Finnish word for it. Edit: And it seem...

And when the (English) words are borrowed into Japanese, some vowels before voiced consonants become long vowels, while vowels before unvoiced consonants remain short, and the consonant gets doubled! Steven -> Sutiibun tube -> chuubu Big Mac -> Biggu Makku or Bikku Makku hip-hop -> hippu-hoppu

I am also in awe. One of the tragedies of having ADHD is not being able to see something through. So maybe it's my OCD that's allowed me to stick with Kankonian and my other Leholangs for so long? I've been working on Commonthroat for a year now, and it's by far my most developed conlang, but I'm b...

I passed word #101,000 Oh wow, you are an absolute monster. I, as a scrapper, can barely fathom how this is possible. Maybe I just don't see the flaws in my conlangs. You, know if you pass this on to your children you can probably get to 1 million. Oh, I'm not planning to have children. I'm single ...

I finished up with the J-words in Kankonian! From word #100,812, Dzhaboya (meaning "Jaboya") to word #101,069, Yutping (meaning "Jyutping"), I have 258 new words. And both of my "end words" are Terran borrowings again. In the process, I passed word #101,000: but dzholok...

TIL that the vice-president under Herbert Hoover, Charles Curtis, was of Kaw descent!
