    In one of our 3-way private correspondences about - what? nearly a year
ago? -, Christophe, Jan & I noticed the somewhat frequent list usage of
_ferinstanz_, _sposta_, _tween_ , _(e)sp'ly_, etc. - most markedly amongst
looong-time listmembers (many of whom are also Auxlang-vs.-Artlang flame-war veterans -
"the original ConLang List's 'Crispy Critters' ";)

    We also seem to be evolving our own technical cant ;) (i.e. maggelity,
ANADEWism, engelang, mangalang, etc.)
