Don't be embarassed :)) : a conlang is a conlang is a conlang, whatever the level of achievement you managed to reach :) . Most of my conlangs wouldn't stand in comparison with many other people's ones.

This is exactly the way I think of conlanging too. My conlangs are always ways to try out some neat feature I just heard about ;))) .

Hehe, just like me, I'm quite busy too :)) . Anyway, welcome again! Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
