Ausgezeichnet, Josh! And welcome back from exile. My writing such in Schrift was to keep my older sisters OUT. They were merciless to me when I was young. My conlanging goes back to this time and they were horrible to me about that, beyond the normal sibling stuff. Colanging to them was stupid. More like one would hold me down while the other would beat me continuously. Of course I showed them my language skills. I went on to study 6+ languages pulling down near perfect marks the entire time. My one sister is married to a native Bengali speaker and all her Benagli comes out in German. Poetic justice, then? Thank God my teen aged children aren't like that. Writing in Schrift prevented this from being repeated in another generation (so far ! ) Scotto PS.
