Joe Johnston [EMAIL PROTECTED] quoth: *> *>Do you trust Larry and Damain?
I wish they'd just stop circulating the Apocs so widely as every time Larry emits one there is a rash of people who think the world has needed to know or cares that it's not what they wanted or needed to use. It's the typical egocentric universe that tends to plague us even now in the dot.bomb. It's less about trust than of wanking. 400 hundred years ago Agricola codified Finnish yet today there are more than 80 dialects not to mention the huge variation between the written and spoken forms. The consonant gradation makes words look unrecognisable from one case to the next and "K" is sublime which, if Finnish ever makes it to redesign, I'm going to suggest the entire language be done using more "K" and be renameed to "KKKKlang". I think of Larry often in my Finnish class as it tells me that noone could have possibly designed this language intentionally but it gets a lot of use, much more than English over here, and that tagmemics has a lot less validity when you're sitting in a class trying to learn vocabulary and grammar from a woman waving her arms around and saying a stream of sounds which have utterly no meaning at all, not the slightest. e. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
