[10:47] <davmor2> Morning all
[10:48] <thekorn> hey davmor2
[14:05] <davmor2> morning Yanks and Canadians
[14:06] <davmor2> fader_: ^ pass it on :)
[14:06] <fader_> davmor2: Hey dude
[14:07] <davmor2> :D that's my new generic greeting :)
[14:07] <persia> It's not particularly generic
[14:08] <davmor2> persia: It's fairly generic for this time of day
[14:08] <persia> No it's not.
[14:09] <persia> There's lots of folk from all over still around, including the entire swath of the world between you and I.
[14:10] <davmor2> persia: Humph s'pose so. Hello then how's that?
[14:11] <persia> "Hello" works :)
[14:12] <persia> I suspect to get more generic, one would have to ignore that the channel requests the use of English.
[14:13] <fader_> persia: Something like "o/"?
[14:14] <persia> fader_: Indeed.  Assumes heads and arms though.
[14:14] <persia>  
[14:14] <persia> I think that's about as generic as one can get, but it's not clearly a greeting.
[14:15] <davmor2> persia: 1001000, 1000101, 1001100, 1001100, 1001111 :)
[14:16] <persia> Assumes a cultural bias in favour of dualism.
[14:18] <davmor2> persia: hah
[14:27] <fader_> persia: We should ditch English for Esperanto anyway.  Bonan tagon!
[14:28] <persia> I don't find that Esperanto has sufficient semantic and syntactic flexibility to be able to instill changes in thought patterns through subtleties of expression.  Lovely language, but no more powerful than Odgen&Richard's basic english.
[14:30] <fader_> I respectfully disagree, but also sadly acknowledge that this is not the venue to carry out a debate about the relative merits and flexibilities of various languages.
[14:30] <fader_> :)
[14:32] <cr3> fader_: ebonics all the way
[14:34] <persia> fader_: Good call :)
[15:57] <hggdh> my, my, are we getting scholarly or what?
