Can you clarify what you mean by ""averse to conflict""? That's exactly a phrase I would use to characterise myself, but what you're talking about sounds nothing like me.

Re: Confusing headlines
I've given up on hyphenating sentences-as-modifiers. Having to remember to hit the dash rather than the spacebar seriously slows down my typing, which leads to a desync between the speed of my brain coming up with what to write and my fingers writing it down.

Re: Lexicon management?
Probably the main reason I'm still using spreadsheets is that I highly prioritise being able to filter, not just search. And speaking of search, being able to search in just the translations is rather nice, especially if you have a prose discussion as well.

Re: Conworld random thread
Would we teach children that there are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 to 61 seconds in a minute, dependiing on the minute? It feels more likely to me that, assuming we're still using 24:60:60 time by the time it becomes a problem, the extra seconds would just be all added to the e...

Re: What have you accomplished today?
Since I gave away my old VR trackers, and the straps I wore them with, I needed to get some new ones for my newer set of trackers. I just finished sewing them from elastic fabric and some mount plates my friend printed for me.

Re: a small description of my con-stuff
Care to explain? Right-click, press ‘Inspect element’, and remove the background-image from the <body> tag. Thank you, I didn't know of this feature before! But in this case, the resulting greyish blue background is too dark. Also remove the background-color attribute in the CSS (or change its valu...

Re: The Great Proto-Indo-European Thread's Sequel
The pronoun *yo- IMHO may be related to the *-yo which is suffixed to the thematic genitive singular in many non-Anatolian IE languages, and may once have been an attributive marker added to clauses and noun phrases functioning as an attribute to a noun phrase. (Commenting here rather than in the O...

Wow, thanks. I didn't realise anybody still cared. We do care. Last time I posted here and saw your name at the start of the thread, I was wondering whether you were still around, maybe just lurking...
