Re: The determined verruca

Welcome back, Wright!  (Do we know each other?  We may have overlapped.  I'm
back, too).

What is a bad "verruca," much less a determined one?  It rhymes, if I am
pronouncing it correctly, with one of Teonaht's most detestable swear words!
<GGGG>  To call someone a "parroka" is a real "krefimort!"

I'm about to post another heinous survey.  You're just in time.  We've been
talking extensively about conjugating by objects and the ways different
languages represent animal sounds. There have been a lot of introductions by
newcomers, and we've been discussing Aidan's new language Taalen.  And
cooking, and whether rue will poison you.  The usual stuff.

P.S. What kind of writing job do you have?  Most interesting!
