I managed to snag a table on the patio of the local brewery. Currently 82, a few clouds, & slight breeze. PERFECT!
Wait, does that count for this thread? I haven't done conlang stuff in several months.

Re: Deyryck
Welcome to the board! :) That's the whole problem "it does seem". Every time I tried to use common linguistic terms, I ended up with situations where it does not fit. That will be the case for a lot of languages. Often you can pick the term that fits the closest, and then in the explanatio...

Re: Venting thread
Trivial vent: My bank just sent me a helpful message informing me about various types of frauds and scams that are apparently currently used against their customers. And the first type of fraud/scam listed in the message was the "grandchild trick". How old do they think I am grumble mutte...

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
Who, and I mean this as a sincere question, who the hell is still holding out for a criminal punishment of 45? I absolutely am. That is, unless by "holding out" you mean that I think there's a near 100% chance of Trump being convicted. At this point, I think there is a good chance of it h...

Condolences to you. It's good he could slip away in his sleep and that you could be with him at the end. Best of luck with the legal stuff.

Re: Venting thread
My trans niece has been trying for months to get her name officially changed and it's been a real slog. Every time she and my sister think they've jumped through all the hoops, another one appears. The latest is that, despite being presented with an official government certification of the name cha...

Re: What have you accomplished today?
Finally got around to learning about Optimality Theory! I’ve just made my first mini-grammar, for a tone system. At the same time, I’ve just decided that OT doesn’t actually work much of the time. I don’t think I’ll be using OT again. HAH! :lol: That reminds me of a software training I did for a cl...

Re: Sound change appliers in Excel
Why do you need an SCA in a spreadsheet? I've been considering doing this, but using Google Sheets. I think the actual sound changes would be done using Regex, but I'm a long ways from vocabulary on my current langs, let alone descendant langs. However, the idea was to be able to link the spreadshe...

Re: Predictions for 2301
Not a prediction for 2301 , but one for 2 03 1 : A global cold war between an alliance of liberal democracies who take the climate change problem seriously (even if they not always do enough on it) and an alliance of authoritarian régimes who more or less deny it. It is less easy to predict which c...

Re: Happy things thread!
Watching live Irish music in a pub in Galway tonight, plus hearing our tour bus driver speaking fluent Irish today and being surrounded by signs in Irish are GREAT motivation for my Dwarven conlang.
What a massively fun vacation day!

Someone posted zeptoforth (specifically both its hackaday.io page and its GitHub) to a Forth group on Facebook all on their own! Grats! That's gotta feel good! And today at a Zoom meeting one of the participants had used the zeptoforth kernel as an example of their disassembler in action (but unfor...

Re: Happy things thread!
I had to learn that for the first time when I was 53, and it went easier than I thought. Everybody else on the road doing it the same way keeps you from forgetting it. The only thing that took a couple of days to sink in is how to correctly enter a roundabout. Way back in 93 & 99 when I went to...
