<whitequark> huh, I just found something very impressive.
<whitequark> it's an article in traditional chinese.
<whitequark> translate it to english with google. note the very high quality of the translation.
<whitequark> I mean, it almost reads as if someone who speaks English wrote that!

<cuttle> whitequark: well, for one thing it has a word order kinda similar to english
<cuttle> whitequark: but yeah impressive
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lolwat
<purr> lolwat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mathias bynens is a ‘member’ of oftn?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have to give eligrey this: he's apparently sucked a surprising set of actually-intelligent people into his communal hallucination.
* ELLIOTTCABLE tips his hat to his cult-leader compeer
<eligrey> i see you've done the same but with unwilling participants
<eligrey> with github/hashelliottcable
<eligrey> ELLIOTTCABLE: also wtf 46 people
<joelteon> i looked at ithkuil
<eligrey> whatever ELLIOTTCABLE offered you guys, #oftn is offering that + a laminated nfc ΩF:∅ card
<eligrey> (free with your first commit)
<cuttle> joelteon: isn't it amazing
<joelteon> i like it
<joelteon> i'm not gonna learn it though
<joelteon> also the consonants i don't understand are going to be a bitch to learn
<cuttle> haha no one can learn it
<cuttle> i think i'm good on the consonants
<cuttle> but I just don't have time in my life to memorize all the fucking declensions
<joelteon> it's complicated
<cuttle> :p
<joelteon> "hruštrul-lyö’ň ˉhničhâçtàu’watkwöu​
<joelteon> which translates to
<joelteon> ‘…despite presumably being on the verge, contrary to the allegation, of just so happening to want to succeed in maybe ordering a periodic return to the honorable practice of superlative architecture for others to follow by example.’
<joelteon> what the fucking shit
<joelteon> i can't even fit that sentence into my brain
<whitequark> ummmm what the fuck
<whitequark> something heavy just bumped into my 5th-story window
* whitequark is scared
<whitequark> heavy and white
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fucking FUCK I hate everything
<ELLIOTTCABLE> god. don't have time now. have to drive an hour to Chicago O'hare Airport, so that I can fucking assault a fucking employee of fucking Delta, get banned from my closest airport, and arrested for assault and battery.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> actually, seriously considering carrying assault weapons into an airport.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fucking BRING IT, fuckers.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but. if I survive and/or ever get released from prison, remind me to wax irate at you guys about what Delta has done to my little sister today.
<joelteon> nobody speaks ithkuil
<joelteon> that's depressing
<joelteon> but nobody's gonna learn it
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: wait, you actually beat the guy?
<whitequark> *high-five*

niggler is now known as nathan8
nathan8 is now known as niggler
<joelteon> so with the ithkuil reference available to me
<joelteon> i can theoretically write some simple sentences using it
<joelteon> JESUS it's complicated
<joelteon> !unicode ļ
<joelteon> isn't there a big list of all the unicode characters somewhere
<niggler> just make your own joelteon
<joelteon> i found it
<cuttle> joelteon: it's not depressing; I don't think it's possible for anyone to "learn" it the way you learn a natural language
<cuttle> joelteon: even john quijada himself heavily consults the reference when writing anything in it
<cuttle> joelteon: and I don't think the russian researchers who showed a lot of interest in learning it had much success

<joelteon> it's too complicated
<cuttle> right, too many things to remember at once
<cuttle> and too many lists of inflections to memorize
<cuttle> ELLIOTTCABLE: shit what
fwg has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<cuttle> joelteon: you might be interested in my conlang project
<cuttle> heavily inspired by ithkuil but i really want it to be speakable
<joelteon> i might
cuttlebone has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<joelteon> what i really want is an obscure conlang to use as an easter egg translation for my new "startup" idea
<joelteon> that would be neat

<cuttle> joelteon: what's the idea?
<joelteon> mainly because I'd like there to be some "practical" application for learning one, other than simply recreation
<joelteon> it's called shoesha.re
<joelteon> you share shoes
<joelteon> it's not a very scalable idea, but i think it could become pretty useful
<joelteon> honestly, i'm still having some doubts about it
<joelteon> there are a thousand and one places to buy shoes on the internet
<joelteon> and quality used places like sufu
<joelteon> but i think it's 1% idea and 99% execution
<joelteon> and I really like the execution I have planned
