Hello all, it's been a while since I've been to the ZBB; college got in the way and the military keeps me fairly busy. In that time, conlanging has fallen to the wayside, and though I dabbled in reading some interesting grammars here and there, I haven't managed to properly understand sound changes....

I use both systems (I prefer 24-hour, so I keep my computers set to it; also, IRC clients almost always use 24-hour), and I remember times in whichever system I hear about them in. In speech, I only use 12-hour, but I'm in America and everyone here uses 12-hour. Everyone? You sure? I know both, but...

First he makes the LCK and starts a conlang community. Then he gives out the LCK in book form with four times more material and makes us all want to buy it. Zomp, you're almost a cult leader by definition. :P You wouldn't be so kind to let us members have a little discount? :roll: Every follower of...

I haven't been able to find the Cossack dance, from :50 to 1:19. I've looked everywhere. It's still a great performance all throughout though, I enjoy it. I wish they'd come down here.

This, because Io said I wouldn't. Elyndian: Would you.. Like some... oreos? Иво: beer? err what's that Elyndian: Chocolate cookies. Иво: i've never had one of these Elyndian: With frosting.
