Huh... I thought I got replaced. While the Cabinet did suggest another name after yours, that person was already going to be appointed as one of the party slots. Ah, okay.

My school blocks YouTube, so I emailed this link to myself in order to see what it was... ...and then I realized I'd rickrolled myself. *facepalm*

I’m a Planck length away from shouting “Fuck this!” This is my way of trying to attract some members. The greatest enemy of any new movement is pessimism, so lighten the hell up!

Is anybody interested in volunteering for the Orthography or Grammar Committees? Remember, if you volunteer, you won't be able to vote on whether changes will become an official part of the language.
We need at least three members for each committee.

Regarding the infinitive ending, from time to time I've floated the idea that the pronunciation of r in the infinitive ending may actually be regular, and thus would not need to be marked in writing. Regarding vowels î and ë, I mounted a pretty vigorous defense of î back in 2007 and would be open to resurrecting it (subject to concerns about how to mark stress as mentioned previously), but there are some pretty strong feelings on both sides of that question. I'm less convinced that the abolition of ë was a mistake, because I'm not sure Ben had quite thought things through in how he used and described the various forms of e. ... A2007 did contemplate disambiguating monosyllabic homophones with stressmarks, as in some other Romance languages. Its guidance about how to do so was vague, however. Hool made some judgment calls regarding which words got stressmarks in l'Översteir, but I think a new Arestada (or Pienamaintsch) to clear things up may be in order. In l'Ö, "så" became "sa" while "sâ" (the old conditional marker) became "sà". The reflexive pronoun "se" stayed as-is while the possessive marker "së" became "sè". Pre-2007 disambiguation-via-stressmarking was retained on "a" (3rd person singular feminine subject pronoun) and "à". For the most part he retained stressmarks on the monosyllables that had them historically where they would be useful for disambiguation. I've thought about whether this disambiguation could be regularised based on considerations like prosodic stress, along the lines of monosílabos tónicos y átonos in Spanish, but that may not be feasible without departing too much from historical practice. Then, could a possible consensus/Reunision Arestada be written up: 1) restoring the spelling of the infinitive to -r from -rh; 2) restoring î in some form (maybe spelling it with Turkish dotless i, who knows); 3) disambiguating monosyllabic homophones with stressmarks? If all those could be done, I would consider the matter settled (although dunno what Tomás G. would think). What do the SIGN crew think? The SIGN "crew" has nothing to say. It abstains from these discussions and will accept whatever the collective result of these discussions is.

We already have a fricative infinitive.

Whaaaaat...
Well, I'm glad I've been able to provide a path for prospective citizens toward the Best Thing Money Can't Buy.

Ha ha, if SIGN's difference from CÚG is going to be the difference between doing nothing and doing nothing + unilateral executive Arestadas, maybe this was a bad idea I'm perfectly happy to have changes approved by the predefined committees, but they need to exist in the first place.

We need an orthography to begin with. And that's ballsy to say for someone who, as far as making la SIGN happen, has done almost nothing to ensure that the workings are in place. BTW, here's the new website: jackdwalker2001.wixsite.com/societaIt still needs a lot of work, but it's good enough as a start, I think. First of all, stuff your attitude. And most importantly, you cannot just put forth decisions unilaterally for the whole SIGN – no matter how active we are. OK, how about this: let’s put together the respective committees, and then stick that proposal into the Orthography Committee for a vote?

The SIGN declares this Arestada, el Prüma Arestada: - La SIGN adopts the official CÚG orthography - In addition, it adopts the a-with-breve to mark final a in feminine nouns and adjectives You cannot do that. We held no vote, and I am absolutely not supporting any Arestadă, nor adopting it. Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN , the CÚG, to my knowledge, does currently accept the A breve as such a marker. We need an orthography to begin with. And that's ballsy to say for someone who, as far as making la SIGN happen, has done almost nothing to ensure that the workings are in place.
