It's not always that good. If I could remember half the Star Trek episodes I've dreamt I'd be quite rich. Assuming I could sell them to Paramount!

I like that! Perhaps this language lost the nominative pronouns somehow, replacing them with the accusative (like what happened in certain dialects with the nouns). Then the old emphatic form gets reanalysed into the accusative. Now just dream up the verbs and nouns! Padraic.
