Thanks Zilect, I completely forgot about this and am not clear on who the Constable actually is for Florencia?

As someone who isn't weel versed in ár glheþ, where can one find a Talossan->English dictionary?

Acting in my capacity as Witt administrator, I am locking this thread until the Tuischach requests otherwise.

The Ministry of Culture, in association with La Società per l'Ilesnaziun del Glheþ Naziunal (SIGN), is pleased to formally announce a contest for writing in the Talossan language / ár glheþ naziunal.

There will be two categories of entries each with a prize of a US$25 Amazon gift card:

• Short-form: under 100 words. This opens the field to poetry, as well as to less confident Talossan language learners who might only be able to do one or two sentences.
• Long-form: 100-1500 words. Ain't no-one got time to read more than that.

Entries will mainly be judged on literary merit and on at least a good "attempt" to write in Talossan. (If we can understand it, it's good enough). Correct grammar may be used as a "tiebreaker".

Entries must be submitted by December 1 as a reply here or by private message to a member of SIGN, and will be judged by the members of SIGN as a committee. Please note that the judges may well submit their own entries, but all entries will be published for the sake of transparency (unless entrants object).

The winning entry will be announced on 12 December, Llimbaziua (Language Day).

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 18, 2024, 10:02:10 PMI see Breneir's "make enemies of literally everyone" campaign continues, unabated.  Consistency is its own kind of virtue, I suppose.

To be scrupulously fair to him, there is a problem here which predates him, and that's it's impossible to moderate Witt. Because - since we're all political figures - nobody wants to moderate someone and then be accused of political bias. Especially since Brenéir entire political shtick has been trashing the reputation of the outgoing SoS, and he's now trying to do that to the presumed next SoS, i.e. the two people with the authority to do so. If someone has successfully "worked the refs" to the point that no-one can even try to impose any sanctions, what to do?

One might also note that if a male Talossan were talking to a female Talossan who was their political opponent, calling them "bae" and saying "you're cute" in a sneering manner, we would see that instantly as nasty harassment that deserved sanctions. And if that were the gender relation, we would also see "she's not really being harassed, she just perceives it as such" for the gross line it is. Whatever. WITTIQUETTE RULE 8: enforce it hard.

There you go again, Miestra. Sneering? Nasty?  Again you are adding your opinion on the intent of what was said and presenting it as fact. Luc is handsome and I'll tell anyone who asks. I'm not sure I see the problem in saying that but I find the attention on that fact delightful. I mean I do, after all, find your reactions here adorable too but you thinking that I'm "creepy" is not a violation of Wittiquette. In the meantime, I'll continue that campaign on a nonpartisan SoS as long as you and the FreeDems make it necessary. There are several ways it can be resolved and I pray that Txec or Luc will take one of them.

You found a way to give a compliment Baron. I liked that.

You are humiliating yourself.

Stop it.

I'm not sure what you are talking about Ian. I did appreciate his compliment on my consistency.
