        My case is different. I find no problem in talking and writing in French
when conlanging, but then I do lots of code-switching :) (using words like
'conlang', 'natlang', 'auxlang', 'conculture', 'constuff', but also
grammatical features I don't know the name in French, like 'trigger system'
which I code-switch into 'système trigger' :) ). But when I write e-mails,
I have to be careful of what I'm doing, and actually I do all my English
e-mails seperately in time to my French e-mails, because I find it
difficult to pass fast from a language to another. :(

        You can already be proud of what you did! Simplicity and complexity have
nothing to do with esthetics. Some do complex things, some do simple
things, but that doesn't mean that the first one is better than the second.
