A good start!

I keep getting notifications saying that DV82LECM is quoting me in the Yǫlá Skásti thread, which they are not, and when I click on them, it goes back to a post that, indeed, did quote me, but was from a very long time ago. Do we know why this is happening? (Like, I get a notification that says &quo...

How so? Ho, boy. I've told the story twice on this board before, but both threads were pruned. So here's my story . . . Back in the nineties, I subscribed to a magazine that existed at the time called Simpsons Illustrated . SI had comic strips dealing with the Simpsons characters and such stuff. A ...

In fact, there is evidence that /jj/ was historically a valid form, but later merged with /j/: naday "sparse" and yesu "land" compound as nadayesu "desert," with a single /j/, rather than * nadayyesu . Oh, I love these sort of "playing God, but not quite playing a...

Here's an example, from Greco-Roman mythology: it's believed that the Latin "Jupiter" comes from "deus + pater": God-father.

I'm a cisboy, but I came out as bisexual when I was 13. It was sort of . . . unintentional.

Congrats on your new gender identity! I'll have to remember to refer to you as "she".

Well, I put up a song I wrote in the style of Bob Dylan a few minutes ago. It's NSFW due to frequent use of the SH-word.

"Done with Gibbon a Shit About Shitgibbon"

"I'm Justin Timberlake" (Warning: sexual lyrics)

I finally found this thread again, so I could make a shocking revelation . . . Kankonian is 27 years old and has over 85,000 words. But until now, I never realized it was missing a word for "cream soda". I just created one: shiluba . Although it did have "root beer float", which ...

You're welcome.

I am interested in dutch, flemish, french, german and more than 400 dialects which spoken in holland and belgium.

This guy (Wario Toad 32) was quite interested in Frisian. You may want to check his conlangs out.

By "Dutch Belgium", do you mean Flemish (Vlaams)?

I just finished adding 83 new words about sexual orientation and romantic orientation to Kankonian. Up until today, most of the sexual orientation words were supposedly taken from an "inkhorn" root language I've never actually invented, and ended in -khaili: akhaili is heterosexual, zikhai...

Finished looking for missing Kankonian words today -- for the past few hours, I've been doing X, Y and Z! A small section of English's lexicon be it may, I still got 72 new words. A sampling: tthedingizshuyesshiat : xenograft, heterograft ( tthedingiz , graft + shuyesshiat , interspecies) zhoarsomon...

I finished looking for missing W-words in my Kankonian dictionary, and got over 125 new words. A sampling: gregred : gregred (coming-of-age ritual for Skark boys that involved hunting in the forest alone) (Skark borrowing) wiabu : Wapanese, weeaboo (English borrowing) ikiyau : war cry oshowei dohak ...

Yeah . . .

"So you think electronic music is boring . . . you think it's stupid . . . you think it's repetitive. Well, it IS rep-repetitive . . ."

I listened to it before I read your spoiler and thought it was electronica/EDM. I thought, "Cool! I like Clean Bandit, and SHAED, and Empire of the Sun, and Lady Gaga, and they're all electronica, so electronica's not bad!" Then I noticed your spoiler. I opened it, and saw it was prog-rock...

This sounds vaguely familiar . . .

Huh, so do Mark Rosenfelder's Almeans. Some of them use octodecimal too.

The Almeans? I never knew that!
