I don't regret it at all! The best part of autocorrect is contaminating its dictionary with a bunch of conlang words and discovering it now thinks that slight mistakes are suddenly barely-related shút.

As it appears H13 is not quite a bad enough dude to get around to RTFSing, I will probably fancify the locations display in a week or so.

It occurred to me that I didn't have an example of Lilitika that wasn't drawn with a tablet. Here's what it looks like when I have the use of an instrument I'm actually practised with.
(The text is "Rhetorica Rhamnusía" followed by some unfortunately not-very-coherent stuff Nessari said.)

Search page fixed: no longer craps out when searching for pages of all types. Still working on pretty display of getv() key-value store pages, though; as a result, user pages, dictionary pages, and universes (and possibly some other types) will look bad in the search results.

Emoticons maybe actually fixed. :o :O @_@ D: :0 >:O!
The secret is to use \B next to punctuation marks and \b next to letters, e.g. \B:o\b for ":[b][/b]o".

...Because there's something inherently funny about obnoxious smugness—if you're trying to ruin the community, anyway. Bad Ness!
A quick bit of Wikipedia-ing says that neuter came from an inanimate class, and both masculine and feminine came from an animate class (and another source says that feminine came from a mixing of the two. Said [http://www.tundria.com/Linguistics/pie-nom-morphology.shtml|other source] may help you figure it out.)
