Well, I'm not. Conlanging is major fun, everyone even a tad bit interested in languages should do it!

Plus, after your kids come up with something, you can create a family pidgin as an admixture since you will all speak different things.

God, it's like we're crack pushers or something.

I don't usually make fun of evangelists, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis.

So, I got the book through the post the other day. Bought it more out of curioisity than anything else.

I have to say, I think it's good.

I especially liked the Naming Language, Semantics, and Pragmatics sections.

I think it is a nice expansion on the online version, and not just padded out.

Cheap, good, like it.

Hopefully Zomp gives us a second edition at some stage; it could definitely be improved, altho it is far from substandard, and it is a good length.
