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. -Duke
