Well, _one_ thing you should never get here is the feeling
of duncehood. Of course, we are all aware of our own beginnings
down the linguistics path - but more than this, the _seemingly_
simple questions of newcommers prod us into new thought and
discovery (or creation) in our respective languages. Hence, we
can all take a chance at displaying how our languages do that
thing; and we can all have a good chat after. Sometimes wandering
down strange roads, but that's the nature of the beast.
I look forward to hearing more about your languages in future!
Padraic.
