My 20+ years of conlanging have been largely driven by a desire to create a perfect language (where 'perfect' = optimally satisfying a set of personally chosen but relatively explicit design criteria). If I did not have such a wild ambition, I'm not sure I would conlang, since any less ambitious project would be so outshone by the magnificence of English. --And.
