It personally took me more than ten years to learn to distinguish [I] and
[i]. And unlike most French people learning English, I eventually managed! ;))

Me too! :)

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.

PS: This is also a test: it's the first time I use Eudora instead of the
webmail to send mails to the list. I arranged everything so that the
message is sent in plain text, but I'm currently discovering the options in
Eudora, so there may be a problem. Please tell me if something is wrong in
this mail, so that I can correct it as soon as possible :) . And if anyone
knows how to change this stupid first line "At 16:19 14-4-2003 -0400, you
wrote:", I'd be more than happy! I'd like to put it to something nice :) .
