Re: "Kitchen sink conlang" and other such terms

Jeff:
<<
The term "kitchen sink conlang" (or KSC, not to be confused with KFC)
seems
to be used mainly on ZBB; it could have originated there. If so, the
earliest
references are probably long gone. On the other hand, there are a lot
of pages
that aren't googlable.

I don't think so.  I knew the term before the ZBB existed, and
I'm sure I heard it here.  Check out these messages from 2000:

help you focus your efforts, and limit the temptation to throw

everything including the kitchen sink into your grammar.

"objective" (which better describes English pronouns). Or as I call it
"nominative" and "the kitchen sink".
