OK... excuse me... I didn't mean to make you crazy! Obviously it was a joke!

- or pehaps I should've written: Latine loqui non *ita* difficile est... ; )
('speaking Latin isn't *that+ difficult)

Eh, no, Patrick! You shouldn't 'sit corrected', as you say. We're not at
school (fortunately : )) We're here because we *enjoy* playing with
language! So excuse me if I've personally been so - how can I say?-
impetuous, but don't take our (mine, Yoon Ha Lee's and Cristophe's)
'corrections' as if they were your prof.'s corrections (BTW, are you at
school or have you already finished?). They are only personal suggestions,
which obviously should be marked IMVHO (but I didn't like 'Cur? IMVHO Latine
loqui...etc.' - I generally don't like mixing languages that way : )).

Welcome from a 17-years-and-two-days-old Italian guy. Where are you from?
How old are you? Is Tierian your first Conlang, or are you one of those
lucky who grow up with their language from their early childhood?
