Also, are you sure you want to Clark the Seneschal Election Amendment? We were still discussing details yesterday!

Well, now you're co-author, so if you want to amend any details, tell me. I personally think it's good to go.

Thank you kindly, Minister.

Governors and governor-adjacents of Talossa, there are too many provinces and we should eliminate some so that the remainder can be functional.

These must be real provincial mergers - not those nonsense proposals where merged provinces get double the Senats seats or whatever. All provinces must continue to be equal.

I have heard that the issue of Vuode-MM merger is back on the table. Anyone keen on merging with Fiova? We've got a great constitutional system but almost total apathy.

Can I suggest that the following citizens be made moderators of the following NewWitt boards:

• Immigration: @The Interior Minister
• The Hopper and the Cosa: @The Túischac'h
• Fiova: @The Fiova SoS
• El Glheþ Talossan: @The provisional head of SIGN

The statute abolishes, in its entirety, the Justice of the Peace, which is a decent idea but I think maybe some of us would prefer to avoid

Yeah, I refer my learned colleague to the dictum in Hall v. Oates (1981), viz. "I can't go for that."

I honestly don't think we need any fulltime judges on a lower court. I prefer "citizen justices", who can become qualified by sitting an exam, with appeal to the UC. As we've found, declaring someone a fulltime judge is the best way to make them inactive.

Hello, yes. Can I please to be clarking The Seneschál Election Amendment, the There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Senäts Seat Amendment and the Abolition of Compulsory Voting and Determination of Legal or Actual Decease Bill.

Can I also ask that pretty please the deadline for this Clark be extended until we are sure whether any Royal vetos are going to be coming down for the 2nd Clark? Because some bills will want to be re-proposed in that case.

QuoteI would like to make some detailed comments on how I reached my decisions

Another comment: if we had a functioning National Bar in this country, I would wish that counsel for both the Government and the Respondent* would have been subject to discipline (eg. barred from taking the next UC case) for regular outbursts and talking-out-of-turn in the just-concluded appeal.

In other words: we need a functioning National Bar in this country, because the lawyers are unruly.

(* You can't bar me, I'm the Seneschal  8) )

Presiding Judge Nordselva comments:

QuoteI don't know what it is about this case that draws such dramatic reactions from both sides.

At a guess:
1) both sides have picked somewhat "dramatic" personalities as their advocates;
2) this is the first actual criminal case in Talossa for a long time. High stakes.

While I'm on the subject, why did the adjective Talossán lose its final-syllable stress in the 2007-2014 language? And can we have it back?

It didn't. Talossan is pronounced with ultimate stress according to the stress rule.

Ha ha, shows how much I understand the CÚG Arestadas I spent 7 years bitching about. :) I've got a lot to learn and I'm glad you're on the ball.

So, er... is there anything we can do about this?

And that includes the possibility of paying for better service from DeRoyal.

Miestrâ Schivâ (right), in her role as keyboardist, ukelele player and contralto vocalist of VOSTOK LAKE desperately needs your help.

Vostok Lake is running a kickstarter to finish their first album in 10 years.

Please contribute generously - although even $1 (a few lousy bence) will be appreciated.

Great, so:

Quote
1. Restore the letter å as it appeared in the pre-2007 Treisour.
2. Restore the digraph äi as it appeared in the pre-2007 Treisour.
3. Replace word-final unstressed a or â of feminine nouns and adjectives, their compounds (e.g. Tzaranhoua "Newfoundland") and derivations with ă, except in Talossa. Replace word-final indamint with indămint. A is an acceptable substitute for ă throughout.
4. Replace rh with r throughout.
5. Go through the entire lexicon, re-stressmarking according to the Stress Rule in the provisional spelling whererever necessary. This includes replacing stress marks with tremata wherever their only purpose is to mark a hiatus (e.g. actíu -> actïu).
6. Respell the word Civian "Kevin" as Chivian, correcting an earlier mistake when applying the 2007 Pienamaintsch.
