4·7 days agoIsn’t it plain self-consciousness?
Otherwise, the internet suggests this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/allodoxaphobia
That site is strange or I need more coffee. It says 96 on top of the page but 90 further down. Also they calculated it by occupied home apparently, not by population? The homelessness rate is almost the same as the US’s according to the same site.
Or Nounr.

What do you think “hypothetical” means?
Professorin
I would definitely bat an eye if somebody came to me with that shit for a language they constructed following an “interna ideo” of universality, peace, and whatnot. I would bat the other eye if besides they came to me saying that a Männin that just had a baby becomes a Väterin, la padra, the fathress, i pateraina.
ideal lingua-franca
A language with letters no other language has, and a sound repertoire that offers no improvement over English (even if we reduce the target population to Europe given the community we are in), is far from ideal.
A fraction of the budget
… once a critical mass of teachers is achieved, together with native populations big enough to enable linguistic immersion for new learners. Sold separately.
I know that you know that I know what a suffix is. Do you get the difference between the pair Mann-Frau and the hypotetical Mann-Männin or are you being intentionally obtuse?
Speakers of a self purported international constructed language should be proud of a good construction, hailing cultural bias as a pride thing is weird, specially when advertising the language as a transcultural bridge.
That’s not true.
If woman is vir (root of viro, man) + ino (feminine suffix) how do you call that?
Persecuted […] resistance.
That’s not a virtue of the language, it’s a virtue of the intention. If there had been Volapükists in those contexts they would have been persecuted too because they would have been perceived as dangerous idealists.
woke nonsense
Ah, the sunk costs. No matter whether natural, constructed or programming language, the “prophets” lashing out at any criticism because it feels like an attack on all those hours already invested into learning it.
The language where a woman is a female man? I mean, no natural language is perfect but probably there are better constructed ones.
4·14 days agoMs Hersey said singing the anthem in English was important for remote, bilingual Aboriginal schools in order for students to learn English and be able to one day get a job.
How does repeating the same 70-something words over and over help with that?

That’s not how you translate “bone spurs”.
