I forgot to give my stats! I'm 1m84, around 75-80kg (quite thin actually, it's
mostly muscle ;))) ), have a strong liking towards ergative, active, trigger,
and even stranger languages, and prefer VSO, or SOV syntax (in that order :)) .
I'm also a fan of O-before-S syntaxes, but until now never made a language
where it was the main word order - unless you count the object incorporation of
Chasmäöcho, which makes it effectively a VOS language :)) -). I'm extremely
bouncy when alone (I just love to bounce in staircases! :))) ) but in company I
restrain myself. And living in an apartment at the third floor, I don't bounce
much. I have respect towards my neighbours from below :))) .
Mmmm... I guess I'm completely contradicting your theories. But then, that's
not abnormal, it's just being me ;))))) .

It takes a straight mind to create a twisted conlang.
