Ah, go mad! It's not originality that matter, it's the fun you have that
counts. There's nothing that pleases me more--and I said this at the
Boston conlangcon--that pleases me more than seeing some wild idea I've
had crop up in some other language. I personally find it validating that
some seemingly wild idea I've had turns out to be natural.
