To the Professor

[martasfic]

In honor of a certain someone's birth-anniversary, have a read about inventors of languages, both the nerd-hobbyists who do it for fun and those using them to make communication easier (think Esperanto) or just understand more about how words work.

I suspect he'd be more than a bit insulted by the implication there was anything "just" about people engaged in wordscaping for the sheer joy of it. Though maybe he'd put himself in the latter camp, folks using invented language to understand natural languages better. Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure he'd have Opinions with a capital 'o'.

May his memory and inspiration go ever on and on.

He most certainly would have Opinions - LOL. Good to hear from you again, and Happy New Year.
