Well I realised that as soon as I'll be settled with courses and routine, my first deadline for essays will come... 6th November is only little more than one month away! :shock: And since I come from a retarded University system, this is an almost completely new task to me and it will take me a lot of time and effort, so I think I'll have to let you down... :oops: :? :(

I can moderate it, if you want. The only problem is I'm about to leave for Germany and won't be back until October 9th. But after that I'll be back at work so I'll have time :D . So, if you want to wait until then I can do it.

You're right Riki Don't you know any romance languages or something?


If I said You're right X Don't you know any Polynesian languages or something? I would be considered as not being sane or even reasonable...

I barely go through and find out information like that, celebrian. Also, my comment encourages him to think out of the square. I also added at the end

And its true. In fact, asking questions of that type is unreasonable.

If I said


If means 'if'. I haven't commited myself to anything and doesn't indicate that I would say something like that. Rather, it just helps to set up a hypothetical situation. And thats what I was doing.

You're right X Don't you know any Polynesian languages or something?


I wasn't asking him (in case if you thought I were). This here will help any think outside of the square. I'm reversing the question, but nor do I expect Aleco to reply to it.

And age is only a number too might I add. I am sure that a lot of the younger members here are just as mature as some of the older ones.

If we're doing Lakota (or celeb possibly), hopefully we'll be at the end. Otherwise I'll have to quickly cover a lot of material ;)

Is there anyone else who can translate Sindarin, Celebrian? It would be cool to see something like this:

German/English (?) -> Klingon (Adina) -> Lakota (Nero) -> Sindarin (Celeb) -> ...
