Next quarter's easier for me. :-) Especially, say, early January before all my !@#$ papers pile up on me again. Gosh, I'm really excited by the prospect of meeting another conlanger face to face! (Well, I've technically met Tom Wier, but that was years ago, before I was conlanging--I'm sure he started long before I did!) Another note: Not *all* people look at conlanging weirdly. I was poring over the possibility of adding another triad of connectives to Tasratal in Classroom Management class the other day, mainly looking at my phonology, alphabet and existing-connectives ("connectives"-nai <G>). Estelle (a fellow math-teacher-to-be) was peering over and shoulder and asked, "What is that?" I handed her my notes, and she puzzled over them, then said, "Did you make that?" I nodded. "That's really neat!" That was just an encouraging note. :-) What I'm scared of is showing my notes to one of the foreign-language-teachers-to-be, in particular the one who's into linguistics-in-general...<wry g> Yoon Ha Lee [requiescat@cityofveils.com] http://pegasus.cityofveils.com Why can't you just be a nonconformist like everyone else?
