[10:56] <brobostigon> :(
[10:57] <Espreon> Oh no...
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <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.
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <brobostigon> markjones: i am in banbury, about 20 mins train journey north.
[11:03] <markjones> yup :)
[11:03] <brobostigon> :)
[11:04] <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
[11:05] <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, :)
[11:06] <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)
[11:08] <Espreon> I'm just a silly man who likes languages and likes to be around others that speak such fine languages.
[11:09] <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.
[11:10] <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.
[11:11] <Espreon> ... which is why I also study Classical Nahuatl.
[11:11] <Espreon> ... to an extent.
[11:13] <brobostigon> ah.
[11:14] <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.
[11:16] <brobostigon> ok.
[11:16] <brobostigon> i am not a study, so dont understand,
[11:18] <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.
[11:19] <brobostigon> ah.
[11:20] <Espreon> Which subjects?
[11:20] <brobostigon> Espreon: IT and physics.
[11:21] <Espreon> Ah yes, complete gobbledygook.™
[11:21] <Espreon> Tee hee.
[11:22] <brobostigon> haha
[11:22] <Espreon> Especially the latter.
[11:22] <brobostigon> but unless you know the subject, it can seem so.
[11:23] <Espreon> Indeed.
[11:28] <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...
[11:29] <Espreon> Hmmm, well, the memories have faded a bit, so blegh.
[11:32] <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.
[11:33] <Espreon> And then there are the timesinks...
[11:33] <Espreon> Those nasty ol' timesinks.
[11:40] <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.
[11:41] <brobostigon> Espreon: sorry no. http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jessica_Alba
[11:41] <brobostigon> sorry
[11:41] <brobostigon> paste fail.
[11:42] <brobostigon> Espreon: my apologies.
[11:42] <brobostigon> Espreon: it was meant for someone in another channel.
[11:42] <Espreon> Th'art forgiven.
[11:43] <Espreon> And yes, I say "th'art" sometimes.
[11:44] <Espreon> ... but no one else in my area does.
[11:44] <Espreon> ... for obvious reasons.
[11:46] <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.
[11:48] <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.
[11:49] <Espreon> Not following me?
[11:49] <Espreon> Oh well.
[11:50] <brobostigon> no, sorry.
[11:51] <Espreon> Did that fancy term "T–V distinction" throw you off?
[11:51] <brobostigon> not sure.
[11:52] <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.
[11:53] <Espreon> I hope it got to you this time.
[11:53] <Espreon> If it didn't, then I just suck.
[11:59] <brobostigon> ah.
[11:59] <brobostigon> makes more sense.
[12:01] <Espreon> Ha ha. Good.
[12:03] <Espreon> Hmmmm, I wish I had some tiramisù.
[12:05]  * 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
[12:14] <plod> hi markjomes I think I was to pass a message on to you

[12:14] <plod> but I seem to have lost the log of what it was
[12:14] <plod> something to do with someone private messaging
[12:14] <plod> though I could have plucked that out of my arse
[21:18] <ianto> plod: Haha I think I left you a message for someone else ;)
