Re: Non-Chomskyan Syntax Page

I rather enjoyed the part of your site I read, especially the
"self-destructing automatic pencil sharpener" lol. :) I noticed the
conlang flag in the corner as well and the Scattered Tongues sign...
tell me, how do you sign up to the Scattered Tongues web-ring? I lost
track of the webpage ages ago and the old one seems to have bitten the
dust now. *sigh* I've been working (and reworking) a conlang I've been
thinking of putting up recently; the proto-lang isn't to my taste with
its vowely sound, but the daughter lang (so far) looks a lot better,
since I pretty much demolished half the vowels. :)
 But anyway... it seems to me like a description of your language and an
introduction to some linguistics all in one go, which is interesting. :)
