AAARRRRHHHHHH! I wanted to do that! :) Maybe we could both play? After all, we're likely to pick different sound changes. I've already decided that we wouldn't have hands, we'd have honds, and I wouldn't be a man, I'd be a mon. But figuring out the vowel changes without the Shift, or with a very different Shift, is a litle beyond me right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Living your life is a task so difficult, it has never been attempted before.
