I myself am an incorrigible conlang slut. I love oral lex. Last night I
put another notch on my bedpost, this one for Pitakosilano
(http://www.langmaker.com/pitakosilano.htm). I just got finished with a
sketch of YASROE, Yet Another Spelling Reform of English. It's probably a
one-night stand.
Anyone got a cigarette?

P.S. No doubt my unfortunate choice of analogy is to make up for the Real
World, where I got married at 21 to the first girl I'd made it to second
base with. The dangers of spending too much of high school in front of a
computer langmaking instead of in the back of a car swinging!
