Relays and challenges! :
And... moved. I'm also thinking of doing monthly conlang challenges; not a relay, per se, but a regular writing exercise devoted to a given topic. I'd probably do it in a hierarchical format like a blog or something.

Lust is a subtype of gluttony when you have a lot of lust, obviously!
But, really, Ubuntu isn't [i]merely[/i] a subtype of Debian. It's also about envying shiny first-world desktop operating systems. An envy... one might even call lusty. Or maybe it's envy. Who can even really tell these days?

I often notice the west coast seems to conserve /iː/ where I'd expect an unstressed vowel to be (particularly in front of nasals)—but every time I bring this up it seems to be more spotty and isolated.
In my experience, if someone says "I need to use the washroom" when they're at home it's an attempt to be polite. Washrooms seem like inherently more formal places than bathrooms.
EDIT: Also, if Cascadia secedes, we're donating southern Alberta back to Texas. To [i]hell[/i] with ...

Haven't yet seen these round here, but then, I haven't really been out. Just to the mall for shopping food and getting a new phone this morning and to campus this afternoon.
