Then learn about the thing you wish to study before you try to teach.  You
are talking about things you don't understand (like the sturcture of
English) and pretending to be an authority on such matters.  Stop teaching
and start learning.  That's the way we interract in this group.  We try to
learn form each other -- not impress each other with our brilliant theories
to revolutionize linguistics (That's sci.lang).

This group is about creating languages FOR ARTISTIC PURPOSES.  We make
languages for private use in diaries, writing obscure poetry, use in fantasy
and science fiction novels we write, for the beauty of it, for the mystery
of it, for the what-if-ness of it.  We are not out to invent the perfect
language (that's AUXLANG).  We're out to play with language -- to tinker and
toy and twiddle.  We revel in the possabilities of language and in,
occasionally, throwing in an IMpossability or two just to see the results.
