The bold text font is certainly dimming the light of your brilliance...To say the least. :P Oh, I couldn’t say. Yes, actually, it could be enough to drive me away from your brilliant reasoning.

Consider not using bolds, because they're driving me (and others) away from reading your posts. The text is horribly annoying.

As a writer, I agree with you completely about how important words and names are. And to throw another book series into the mix, it is reminiscent of Ursula Le Guinn's Earthsea trilogy.

That's how their so brilliant; only us sane people are the ones who can't understand it.

It's a good start, but a full language would have along way to go from there. Its a bud, as it were, which will develop. R.A. Byrd - Math is a language. It is the language of size, shape, and order. It is a limited language, it is true, but it is still a language. And yes, I understand sporadicness (icity?) when large tests loom. It's worse with physics.

And, hey, I had a chemistry test looming over the horizon, did you expect me to not be sporadic? And how do you know it's a language and not math? Personally, I think that everything is math. *mild cough* Sir, actually. And, hey, I had a chemistry test looming over the horizon, did you expect me to not be sporadic?

A. Byrd" to you. Fascinating thoughts. Now, would you consider the child to have a language when (no idea whether this is reality, I haven't been an infant in a while...) it defines things as "Me" and "Not me", or does it need something more to be called a language? It’s “Master R. A. Byrd” to you.

Later he looked like Eglon. And it was somewhere in the middle East. Not in a chemistry class. I think I officially just blew the serious tone of the post. That was very random, Mr/Master/Miss/Mrs. Byrd. I once saw a guy who looked like he was called Ben-Hadad, but it turned out to be Mahershalalhashbaz. Later he looked like Eglon.
