Dec. 27th, 2004 12:25 pmHmmm. I'm bored. Read the stuff that's new. A lack of people on. So I'm gonna post? What am I gonna post about? I don't know. Let's find out.
Note: Hailing a stream of consciousness down, and expecting it to provide you a reason to write about something is bad. So I'll babble. Hm. Except that seems undignified. Technically, the point of a livejournal seems to be to inform you of how my day is going.
On other notes, I received Final Fantasies V and VI for christmas. I apparently have played some of Five before, but did not know it, and Six amuses me. Well, the apparent steampunk-ocity of it amuses me. So does adding the suffix -ocity to whatever word feels appropriate at the time. Kalen momentarily ponders the etiquette* of speaking with nonstandard grammar for the sake of being unusual/different/badly trying to sound as if English were not her first language.
The third note in this chord is a discussion I had with my brother. "I want a formal he/she pronoun!" he declared, or something to that effect. "Why?"
"We need more pronouns."
"What, six isn't enough for you?"
"Yeah!"
"French has...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of them. Isn't that enough?"
"No!"
"Wait, make that nine! Surely nine of them is plenty."
This is not the way the conversation actually went. I think I immediately actually suggested hir as a pronoun. Zyr, or Zier followed, I think. The fact that, when speaking of someone formally in the third person, most often one just uses their name. I think that trying to record this conversation has stopped being amusing, so I'll stop as well. On another note, I think learning languages tends to have an interesting effect on one's conception of grammar. yay for that.
...anyone know any other good pronouns?
Quirky,
Zuki-san.
Post Sript: etiquette is an evil word. Curse my need for spell-check!
