Me neither...though, I'll try and introduce myself now, at last... (felt a bit forced to, as someone else did it) (been over one month since I began posting...yet no introduction till now) I'm bilingual, Swedo-Finnish, living outside the west coast of Finland. It's all Tolkiens fault. (or, thanks to Tolkien) that I am a conlanger. However, small conlang experiments seem having been lurking in my brain for a long time - I used a few times a "home-made ergative system", for Swedish pronouns when 10 years old(not knowing there were any such for real). I also have this (by prescrivists beloved) urge to violate those grammar rules that are for real (and not just 'proper grammar') for effect and/or emphas.. I dislike prescrivism. Heavily. Yeah. That's me.
