I personally like to use lots of variety in my speech and writing. As long as it doesn't totally alter the meaning, I will invent new words (but then everybody on the net does that!), use odd word orders, mix about 5 metaphors at once, and generally try to violate every linguistic rule that's ever been invented. A favorite of mine right now is "much ", as in "much difficulties". I kind of like the slight dissonance. Double glottal stops to honor the Arabs, as in "a 'erb garden". igpay atinlay isyay oodgay ootay, and anything else unexpected! I'm a AI NL understanding specialist, I must be making extra work for myself! stan the l.h. ssc-vax!sts (or utah-cs!shebs)
