The Fith may routinely spout utterances that a human has no hope of
deciphering in real time, and a human with time on his hands may of
course
put together such devious utterances, but I see no reason why two humans
couldn't have a real-time conversation in Fith. They just wouldn't
use the
language to its fullest capabilities... but most real-time conversations
aren't the epitome of eloquence in any language.

Ha, ha!  I concede the point.  I suppose I meant the language in
the way in which it was intended to be spoken.
