@fillertrack it's your server rack, but it's offline

@woozle well, learning words from closed classes (pronouns, prepositions, determiners, all kinds of grammatical words) is actually really hard!

@woozle we could try it - but we'd be making a dialect of english with completely different pronoun rules, so it would be hard to understand for outsiders!

@DialMforMara omg

@woozle there's also proximate/obviate pronouns, where one person in the story is marked as the most important, and then you use the "most important" pronoun for them and the "less important" pronoun for the other people in the story

@DialMforMara ~ is the voiceless retroflex sibilant /ʂ/

@DialMforMara (I have other languages, but they're nowhere near ready for anything)

@DialMforMara so dapiica has a proximate/obviate distinction!

I haven't decided what I'm doing for dwi~

(~ is a letter in the dwi~ writing system)

@Gaypow that would be weird

all of my invented languages don't make gender distinctions in pronouns (there's no he/she/they/it, just they/it or some other system)

this is because:
* the majority of languages on earth DON'T distinguish between genders
* gender neutral always is easier for literally everyone

@rachel please don't... I know how much it hurts
