#Linguistics #ConLang

I've had a neat idea for a new orthography for English. To begin moving away from the hodgepodge mess we use now.

It's based on emoji used as ideographs for English.

A small example, of how it might work. You post something. I react or respond with :goose: 🔪 (I don't know why my whatsis doesn't have a goose emoji, it's weird).

Anyway, so goose-knife means (your) talking annoys (me)

In this case, this means "your speech is annoying me", and could have several meanings, depending on endings and other emoji used in the phrase.

Reversed, as 🔪 :goose:, it means "you annoy"

And so on. Somewhat arbitrary meanings, but that's a fair pattern for ideograph development.

Anyway, I'm just getting us ready for Donald Trump's Golden Age. I have this feeling a language with ideographic orthography might become important, and want us practicing the skills?

No weekend stream this week, cuz my students have important assessments plus assignments that need graded. We'll save Tomodachi Life & .Hack// for another time. Maybe after Barbie?
