    *gigglabyte* plentee nice... Do ya think Meep would be highly amusin'
usin' a sorta "broken" or "newspaper-headline" style syntax usin' VSO or SOV?

    re: Lingua Fracta (was Lingwa Frakas) : I have decided to go with a more
Romance-language etymological orthography (as opposed to the more
Germanic-influenced fonetic pidjin-like one) for both aesthetic reasons and
for more wide-spread recognizability reasons (at least - hopefully - amongst
English, Spanish, Italian and most Romance-European-influenced readers/users).

    But Lingua Fracta will still be basically a pidgin/creole.

    Afterall Lingua Fracta is a "TechnoCulturally-literate pidgin" being
created to foster a "XenoCultura" (a transnationalistic paraculture - in
opposition to the mainstream status quo and pop/subcultures).
    Example of this mindset: in XenoCultura, _musica_ is a word that refers
to past and present conventional/traditional/popular theories, practises and
forms/genres/styles of music.
    In the XenoCultura of Lingua Fracta, either words literally meaning
"sound-creation" and "sound-play" are highly preferred.
