True. Sorta related... reminds me that I better start making notes towards creating my Berlitz-Klingon-like ortho-phono(il)logical manglin' of English (after I fix "bugs" in g0miileg0 and create a bit more vocabulary [like about 800-900 more words])... --- Hanuman Zhang, MangaLanger Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars leak, morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode, orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics warp... linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap...
