As I think about this question I realize that I ~am~ pretty typical. I
guess I'm an artlanger at heart, eventhough I haven't really thought so
until I looked at this question.

I like the way languages sound. I like the way words look and, I like
the way grammars fit together.

Ok, my own first effort, was originally supposed to produce bizzarre new
meanings. Ideas that hadn't gotten their words yet. In the end, I didn't
really pursue that. The words that it does produce are sometimes cool
and so it satisfies in that respect.

(Dlavjaccy = The need for a really cathartic party) :)

So, Ok isn't an Artlang eventhough I'm discovering that I actually am.
Thanks for the question I learned something.
