It interests me greatly why conlanging attracts a disproportional amount of gay people specifically gay men. I've had that same impression as well and often wondered about it. I've also noticed there seem to be a lot of people from Scandinavia as well. Scandinavia might just have something to do wi...

Another thing - the use of funny trailing pronouns in subordinate clauses: The man that I talked to him, remember? The house they found the body under it, right? The car that its mirror got knocked off. Me, too. I noticed today that I also do weird things with adjectivization of subordinate clauses...

Multilang disney songs... I never cease to be amazed at the similarity of the voices that sing them. How do they do that? XD This one is Dreamworks, actually! It's not featured in this very video, but from a documentary about the movie (and I think this very part is, or used to be, on YouTube), I g...

That thing should come with a warning!

Not that I don't like it, it's quite interesting - but it just hurts to look at for any length of time.

Thanks, I'll sort them out eventually. I was a little annoyed at the colours myself, MS Paint fails.

The flag of Sogur: http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9813/sogurflag.jpg The purple symbolises the immaterial spirit world, while the red symbolises fire and its status as a link between this life and the next. The pale circle in the middle represents the physical world. The stripes, from centre to ...

Wow. I haven't listened to S.H.E lately, but S and H have changed so much I barely recognize them. E is still the same though.

For example, in Lakhota Sioux, sequences of vowel+(w,y,h)+vowel often coalesce into a single long vowel whose form is dependent on which the two vowels in the original sequence were; an example is iyáye "he left for there" --> [iyæ:].

Typo in Verdurian Practical Course

I don't know if this issue has already been brought up, but:
Practical Course in Verdurian wrote:--E Nícolo, ke *ei?

Once again, apologies if this has already been noticed.
