In these cases the trick is to be typically obscure with writing, my goal was to pick a rock to push up a mountain, but for some ambitions my mountain was missing and now it’s a trying time, in other cases there are sometimes phones used to speak. Only a day ago I reset my Android and lost the assistant area on the left, so deliberations are made with the gods and eventually settled on installing the Niagara Launcher, pin apps to home, the music widget hides/appears on it’s own, the side has a rolodex instead of a clunky app drawer, and in the settings if you add the google assistant it adds a button that opens the embedded assistant, just have to remember it scrolls from any letter, all for homescreen. You can even swipe the pinned icons. With a larger capacity battery life has improved, altho I’d wish they’d make more dark mode to lessen the burden on the child labor digging nauxious rare metals with their hands in third-world countries, but decisions aren’t always reactions. In releasing the redraft-M2, some preparations have arisen, but it’s soon.
I’ve known an idiot’s level of Spanish a long time it seems, and lately in quarantine and toying with Duolingo’s Welsh and Polish it’s been interesting to see similarities with Español, and while the Cymraeg is rather straight-forward it’s root words are challenging and familiar, and aside from the syntax being different and some phrasing being in older ways, it starts to read like a distant relative language.
It appears the same with the Polski, albeit the Slavic influence makes some letters less likely for words as you or I would use, from vocal posture, it again seems that the primitive/previous language was again the same. In my favorite conlang, research has pointed me at many of these neighboring languages, and the more I read, the more it seems like they’d consider our old-English just another addition to the language-group. We wouldn’t learn old English, it’s adding difficulty to an analytical language, we study what we have, other aspects taken for granted might be how long they last. The other languages might consider old English another in the family, but wouldn’t bother any more than we would, their native language works for them.
It’s sometimes a challenge for people to see things in a different order, or if misordered what other languages are even doing. As I researched I found that where any language would split the irreplaceable elements are already being used, the way that English has enough of the keys to other languages that they all use it, albeit native English speakers have trouble with the full conjugation set, but keeps enough to be honest. This topic is past and future, in ways the reading leads me to find that the origin was as simple as they could make it, what we’ve become is as simple as we can make it, if you ignore politics, and despite the differences it didn’t change that much. What was weird was finding so many of these crossroad signs that it made me believe my favorite conlang was spoken by aliens who landed on earth 5K years ago or older, who knows.
That long ago a caveman could use the intuitive phone app launcher, it’s not as if we’re not these same people using magic we don’t understand today. We can together see this world for itself, and describe what it is for the first time. 5k< years ago, that cave wo/man who decided to create/speak our language didn’t hate the languages, to not change the world turned then as it does now, no matter how other people describe it, and it makes more sense to learn how other people speak then to ignore how much opportunity is really poured into a day. Customs like protocols, cultures like laws, all to make sure no one survives. Travel makes the heart magnetic to the waves of time, and when the sun sets many waves have come, the patterns and light are breathtaking, there are other perspectives, if you so choose.
