~170 cm, ~75 kg. I like convoluted languages with some bits accusative, some ergative, and some triparite (that is correct, yes?). Subjects tend to go before objects, but I have no preference for verb locations. I think, due to my L1, they tend to gravitate towards the middle, though. I am not known for my bounciness (the reason being, of course, that it doesn't exist). (Now then, what kind of spell checker marks 'towards' as incorrect!? Next thing I know and 'gives' will be marked wrong...) -- Tristan <kesuari@...> War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left. - fortune.
