In a message dated 2004:04:26 11:23:44 AM, my emailpal "BooRad***" quotes:
> A living language is like a man suffering incessantly from small
> haemorrhages, and what it needs above all else is constant
> transactions of new blood from other tongues. The day the gates
> go up, that day it begins to die.

> H.L. Mencken
When I sleep
I sleep
and do not dream
because it is
as well
that I am what I seem
when I am in my bed
and dream.

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...

"WITH MASTS SUNG EARTHWARDS
the the sky-wrecks drive.
Onto this woodsong
