It sounds more exotic if you say El.

'El Torco' sounds like the work name of a kinky gay porn actor.

Given that, ©TheExecutiveCommittee approves its use.

Le Torco
al-Torco
der Torco
yek Torco
il Torco

Yeah, better stick with El: nothing quite captures that vibe

In Lilitika it would be "zo Torko." I think that's more dramatic, and more easily mistaken for Zorro, which is basically what you already are, so everyone wins.

In Polish it would be "Torko".

There is no god. There is a dog, however. Maybe you just have made a typo.

When Autistic and Normal Behavior Collide

The Flameout

I don't have two hours to write up the damn thing with explanations, and I definitely don't have the spoons for it. I need the few I have left for work tonight.

I'll try and write it out later on.

Newest pet peeve: library staffers who can't tell the difference between Spanish and Portuguese.

What about telling apart Castilian Spanish and Catalan?

Catalan doesn't do final -o on its masculine nouns, has <ç>, and doesn't break VL *ɛ ɔ.

The Romance languages are pretty easy to tell apart, honestly. I think something like Danish vs. Norwegian would be harder than any of the Romance pairings, and if you wanted to tell, say, Arabic from Persian you'd need a crash course in an entirely new alphabet.

It's easy to tell Nynorsk from Danish/Bokmal since it has <ei> everywhere, but I don't know if there's a way to tell Danish and Bokmal apart.
