When I mentioned Tolkien's inventing his languages before the books to some (presumably non-conlanging friends), they thought it was interesting. So, maybe some people can appreciate it. Of course, to appreciate a conlang, you have to study it, while you can appreciate a painting without going into detail about it, just looking at it. Of course, you CAN study the deeper meaning to the painting, or the technique used by the artist, etc., but there's really no way to casually appreciate a conlang. -- Oh Lord, grant that we may always be right, for thou knowest we will never change our mind. - Scots Prayer http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files/ http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
