~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...)
