Re: CHAT: Worse Greek 102 (was: Bad Latin 101)

Why stope there?  English has declensiones too.  Bringe them back!  In
facte, why not ussan tha articlos definitos of Olde Englishe?  It woulde
beon much easier than guessing which casam a nomen is in.  Then, we coulde
havan thone free word ordorem, and poesis coulde beon more interesantus.

Ah, shit, I don't knowan if half of thisse is right or not.  It's likest a
conlang.
