What is the Hivemind?

Hm, not bad. See, I would've bashed our current political leader, but whatever.

By the way: Estar is the temporary 'to be' verb. Ser is the one you want.

I've never taken Spanish, only French, so that was just my attempt to Spanglicise the French words I know

Compu-Zombie.. that's what they spoke on theold compuServe forums, isn't it?

The Good ol' days.

Shh... don't point out the obvious silliness of the made-up language.

I know some simple Japanese phrases that one would say to a Japanese person if, and only if, they were a fantasy character who speaks Japanese. Also basic questions from when I went to visit Japan.

Yeah, my current Japanese ability is similar. My knowledge of kanji is... less than that.

 

[Rystil Arden]

From memory?

Yup. I saw her do it.

I know a German guy who supposedly always replies to A/S/L with 17/f/Hawaii.

I guess there's a lot lost in the translation.

Letters? What letters? this is Numericode, man. We use Numbers.

How do you say "Pi" in ASL, though?

- Kemrain the Second Level..

... Well, I assumed you meant letters. A lot of people get the numbers wrong. Can you say 20 in sign language? It's not 2-0.

And... I have no clue. I"m still learning. I'd guess you'd spell it out.

So we have a linguist? I'm more into etymologies, myself.

It's just a talent. My maternal grandad spoke like 8 languages and knew the basics of god knows how many more. My skills are a far cry from that; my interests just lie in other areas so I'm only learning languages I need.

I love Conlangs. So interesting, and versatle, and mind-numbingly geeky...

Don't get me wrong. I was very good at asking how to get to Jeuno without finding mobs that agro, even good enough to party with Japanese people who didn't speak a word of English (I asked people who were bilingual and wrote it down). I just doubt that "Congratulations on reaching level 35. Do you think we should move on to harder monsters?" will come up in casual conversation

Erik's Grandmother won't let me say it here. Let's just say it starts off with a 12-letter cussword beginning with "m" and rapidly degenerates from there. Oh, it also involves goats and gerbils.

You just can't speak Cyberzombie on ENWorld.

EN World is racist?!

Hm.

Languagist?!
