Don't you mean "Tinkering outside the box"? </me ducks> My most recent conlanging had already led me to conclude that I tinker with language rather than be creative with it before I read the essay. I do not have the time nor the vision to aspire to creativity. It does not upset me, I like to think I'm creating the detail in a miniature rathter than an opus. In time I hope to have done enough to provide a sketch. - andrew. -- Andrew Smith -- hobbit@griffler.co.nz -- http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/homepage.html
