It would probably be worth discovering whether _acrolecto_ is used in Spanish dialectology in the sense of English _acrolect_ 'the language variety used y the highest-status speakers in the community'. If so, using it for "conlang" would probably be confusing. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org I am a member of a civilization. --David Brin
