ξ would still be quite a difficult shape to make for a cookie, I'd think! So would ζ for that matter... Edited by ellasevia on 23 November 2010 at 8:20pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You know you are a language nerd when you give serious thought to taking the toki pona 21 day challenge (see the language learning log) and you have the following reactions from those closest to you: "with so many languages out there why would some one make up a new one?" and, "with so many real languages why study a made up one?"; " Knowing you, I'm not surprised"; "why? So you can say you have mastered an entire language?" and, my favorite: "toki pona? Is that like the hokey-pokey?"

..When you buy Cosmopolitan in a language which you don't understand because sometime in the future you'll be able to use it to learn the colloquial expressions...
..When you spend a third of your monthly salary on an assortment of grammar books and end up going back to the bookstore to return the books one by one because you don't have money to buy lunch...
