Re: [TECH] First day of the week

I am confused as to which month you are using? Are you using the
Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Chinese months? How do you deal with
religious sensibilities. The first thing that happens in a revolution
is to control time. In fact if you control, time, ideology and
language, you have fascist control over a person. So  a change of
time coupled with language change has great political significance.

My son, rejects the word "conlang" for "embryonic languages." Conlang
has a lot of anglo influence and is hard to translate, embryonic
languages as a term provides hope and is easy to translate.
