| markjones | I'm getting it sorted | 11:00 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:00 |
| Espreon | Huzzah. | 11:00 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:00 |
| markjones | oh, and I"m no longer in Cymru | 11:00 |
| Espreon | And I've never stepped foot in Cymru. | 11:01 |
| markjones | (Now I'm in Oxford) | 11:01 |
| brobostigon | markjones: i think i noticed you checkin on foursquare in sheffield recently. | 11:01 |
| brobostigon | markjones: cool, just down the road from me. | 11:02 |
| Espreon | Ah, Oxford. Good place. | 11:02 |
| markjones | brobostigon: yes, it's on the X5/S5 bus :P | 11:02 |
| brobostigon | markjones: :) | 11:02 |
| markjones | so I can come and see you some time | 11:02 |
| brobostigon | markjones: i am in banbury, about 20 mins train journey north. | 11:03 |
| markjones | yup :) | 11:03 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:03 |
| brobostigon | markjones: good idea, yes, | 11:04 |
| Espreon | And I'm in a land far far away. | 11:04 |
| markjones | lol | 11:04 |
| markjones | I may well speak to ianto about a meet in Cardiff soon | 11:04 |
| Espreon | If only I could teleport... | 11:05 |
| brobostigon | markjones: it is my birthday on the 27th, and we are having a party and pub crawl here, you are welcome if you want. | 11:05 |
| markjones | brobostigon: I'll see what I can do | 11:05 |
| brobostigon | markjones: ok, :) | 11:05 |
| Espreon | And I guess I'm just background noise. Heh heh... | 11:06 |
| Espreon | It's not uncommon for that to be the case... | 11:06 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: no, not at all. | 11:06 |
| markjones | Espreon: what brings you to -cym? | 11:06 |
| markjones | (I've been absent a while) | 11:06 |
| Espreon | I'm just a silly man who likes languages and likes to be around others that speak such fine languages. | 11:08 |
| Espreon | I'm from that weird country we call America, if you were curious. | 11:09 |
| Espreon | And yes, I do consider it weird. | 11:09 |
| Espreon | Then again, I myself am weird. | 11:09 |
| Espreon | I particularly like Cymric because it has the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative (the "ll" sound"). | 11:10 |
| Espreon | I dunno, I think laterals are nice sounds. | 11:10 |
| Espreon | ... which is why I also study Classical Nahuatl. | 11:11 |
| Espreon | ... to an extent. | 11:11 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 11:13 |
| Espreon | The fact it has dental fricatives is also nice. | 11:14 |
| Espreon | *non-sibilant dental fricatives | 11:14 |
| Espreon | Yes, I also like non-sibilant dental fricatives. | 11:14 |
| Espreon | ... very much. | 11:14 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 11:16 |
| brobostigon | i am not a study, so dont understand, | 11:16 |
| Espreon | Not understanding half the words that come out of my mouth is quite normal, I assure you. | 11:18 |
| Espreon | These non-sibilant dental fricatives I speak of are also in English... the "th" sounds. | 11:18 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: i know the same feeling sometimes, when i speak about certain subjects to certain people. | 11:18 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 11:19 |
| Espreon | Which subjects? | 11:20 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: IT and physics. | 11:20 |
| Espreon | Ah yes, complete gobbledygook.™ | 11:21 |
| Espreon | Tee hee. | 11:21 |
| brobostigon | haha | 11:22 |
| Espreon | Especially the latter. | 11:22 |
| brobostigon | but unless you know the subject, it can seem so. | 11:22 |
| Espreon | Indeed. | 11:23 |
| Espreon | Hmmmm, I really should get back to learning Cymric sometime... | 11:28 |
| Espreon | IDK how I managed to remember all those phrases and verbs after all this time... | 11:28 |
| Espreon | Hmmm, well, the memories have faded a bit, so blegh. | 11:29 |
| Espreon | ... but I also need to get back to Englisc. | 11:32 |
| Espreon | I juggle too many things... | 11:32 |
| Espreon | And yes, "Englisc" as in the Old English name for... Old English. | 11:32 |
| brobostigon | multitasking, and not spending enpough time on one thing. | 11:32 |
| Espreon | Yup. | 11:32 |
| Espreon | And then there are the timesinks... | 11:33 |
| Espreon | Those nasty ol' timesinks. | 11:33 |
| Espreon | brobostigon: Might you know of any good Cymric grammar books or webpages? | 11:40 |
| Espreon | I actually don't know a thing about the language's grammar. | 11:40 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: sorry no. http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jessica_Alba | 11:41 |
| brobostigon | sorry | 11:41 |
| brobostigon | paste fail. | 11:41 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: my apologies. | 11:42 |
| brobostigon | Espreon: it was meant for someone in another channel. | 11:42 |
| Espreon | Th'art forgiven. | 11:42 |
| Espreon | And yes, I say "th'art" sometimes. | 11:43 |
| Espreon | ... but no one else in my area does. | 11:44 |
| Espreon | ... for obvious reasons. | 11:44 |
| brobostigon | it is an old english word, much older than the american nation, but along time. | 11:46 |
| brobostigon | by along* | 11:46 |
| Espreon | Indeed, indeed. | 11:46 |
| Espreon | More "thou" would be nice... but not with the nuance of say... Spanish "tú", then bringing it back would just be pointless. | 11:48 |
| Espreon | tl;dr: Screw T–V distinction in pronouns | 11:48 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 11:48 |
| Espreon | Not following me? | 11:49 |
| Espreon | Oh well. | 11:49 |
| brobostigon | no, sorry. | 11:50 |
| Espreon | Did that fancy term "T–V distinction" throw you off? | 11:51 |
| brobostigon | not sure. | 11:51 |
| Espreon | Well, I'll rephrase. Moar "thou" would be awesome, but only if it doesn't act like Spanish "tú" and French "tu" in terms of politness. | 11:52 |
| Espreon | *politeness | 11:52 |
| Espreon | "thou" should just be second-person singular. Period. | 11:52 |
| Espreon | I hope it got to you this time. | 11:53 |
| Espreon | If it didn't, then I just suck. | 11:53 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 11:59 |
| brobostigon | makes more sense. | 11:59 |
| Espreon | Ha ha. Good. | 12:01 |
| Espreon | Hmmmm, I wish I had some tiramisù. | 12:03 |
| * Espreon wonders what Cymruland's heartbreaking dessert is | 12:05 | |
| Espreon | And yes, I just had to make up the term "Cymruland". | 12:05 |
| Espreon | http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Cymry#Antonyms ... Adorable | 12:05 |
