Finals

T-seven hours and a half until my Networking final. Will I be able to pull a n00b and own it without doing jack?

Nahhhh.
::Scribbles more on his paper of reference::

On the subject of languages(inside a DC++ videogame music hub)...
You got Michif (which coincidentally was the language for my class final), which is a mixture of French and Cree, and pretty damn rare, and fading fast.

You have Klingon, which completely originates from a Television slow, but evidentally has its own words and grammar structure.

Now, talking about the usefulness of languages...someone got mocked for knowing Klingon. I mean right it is a language that completely originates from a show that many old time fans agree sucks absolute cock now. But like no one would mock you for knowing Michif. Do the number of Michif speakers exceed the Klingon speakers? I highly highly doubt it. So what is the "point" of a language near death or for the sake of creating a language?

Personally I believe that if someone makes a language, like a true language, not just replacing English words with jibberjabber (a dialect), then more props to them. Language is a beautiful thing, although hopefully we don't see Tolkeinites solely raising their children on Elvish anytime soon.
