    gallimaufry, love it

    Synonym-heavy, shaved of most case endings, old conjugations dumbed down, the language grew as empires do, gorging on pan-European migrants, mainly French and Latin, and not a few additions from the later reaches of dominion.

    Good thread

    It is time for a thread on traditional urbanism, or town planning 13th century style. I will dispel some myths of modern dis-urbanism.
