This has been the general response I have also gotten whenever the subject
of my conlanging ever comes up. Recently I came out to my girlfriend
about creating languages. Her exact response, I believe, was "Sweetie,
you must have a very boring life."
Has anyone ever gotten a good response from others (who didn't conlang)
about this kind of thing?
