Another way to derive new intervals from old ones. https://isoraqathedh.tumblr.com/post/798709359963242496

I keep a copy of all my Wordle-like clones in an SQLite database. It is like The perfect use case for this kind of thing.

If it's more than three digits HKD (13 USD) I strongly reconsider buying, and it's right out if it's more than 200 HKD. Simple.

Digits and tallies

This is most likely my intention a long time ago, but it's time to formalise it. https://isoraqathedh.tumblr.com/post/798165777986551808

I'm thinking of adding ⟨cq⟩ /ʝ/ to g'Mòdfäjq because I've been making a lot of that sound recently.

It seems to me that English has a particular surfeit of words that only use the letters ⟨ABCDEF⟩ and nothing else. I've looked around in other languages that use the Latin alphabet and they typically only have a handful. German for instance has some but all of them are homographemic to English ones.

"Dongmen"? Yes, I believe most of them do have.

Come to think of it, Japan has a number plate variant where all the kanji and hiragana are replaced with English (ISO) letters for use "abroad"!

Relatedly, someone actually somehow managed to import their HK car to the UK as-is without changing number plates. At the bare minimum, that means there may be two cars with the same set of number plates there.

The UK also doesn't put its name on stamps because they invented it.

Similarly, the US doesn't put "United States" on number plates because they invented them (so each state gets its own). I don't think they do the oval thing either.

At least, I should Do It Right once, just to get a feel of how things should follow. I wonder if there are any HKSL places around me.

I have made 6G-J, but that's almost explicitly Not A Sign Language and distinguishes itself from it.

Isoraķatheð Zorethan @isoraqathedh.com · 12d

I really, really want to make a consignlanguage, but unlike spoken language where you're allowed to be as Cursed as you like, I feel like if I don't Do It Right on a sign language I'm probably going to upset someone.

They used to, and I think cities and counties are allowed to put their names on there too.

The UK also never put country indication. And so, neither did HK.

Sometimes I like the concept of a video, but the video author spends the first third of the video soapboxing a bit about something I kind of get within the first paragraph and it sours me on the rest of the video.

The big red light is something that I frequently see in Japan. It even made it into ACNH.
