Something else fun is that we get the usage tongue also meaning language because lingua in Latin has both the meanings of language and of tongue.
I like this, I wonder what the admixture of English's implicit metaphors is, could it be mostly Latin?
I'm still planning to give spoken word recognition a try, although I'd be fine with mere sound recognition. Still, it's surprising just how much better I feel from this nicer keyboard; it's a shame the chorder couldn't be a total replacement, but it wasn't going to be able to be one anyway, for reasons I'll be writing about.
I'm glad you found a tool to relieve some of your pain. However total replacement with such inflexible tools would be out of character, even if it would be nice. I can imagine you using dictation to draft prose, your corder to revise, the pen for mathematics, and conventional typing where necessary.
I'm almost always disappointed, no matter what I do, so I decided that was then reason enough to stop caring so much about it. I'm not progressing as quickly as I'd prefer in my Latin book; if I were to finish it today, well maybe that would make me genuinely happy, but that's also unrealistic, so there's no point in focusing on it. In most cases, being able to finish work immediately still wouldn't make me happy, so I no longer feel bad about what I view as slow progress.
You find it best to always hold the ideal in mind so that it won't be lost. I suppose this would naturally lead to perpetual disappointment. I do something similar, but I'm not certain this is the way I want to be. I've been researching some adjacent to this lately and might have a solution of my own soon.
I read two more books, brief texts this time, and a handful of journal articles. Among these was Stephen King's On Writing which in several places reminded me of you (ironically including having skepticism of this kind of book). I might only ask this due to ignorance of the craft, but have you read this piece by any chance?
Regarding A New English Grammar I've only been reworking (perfect tense) my notes. My plan is to complete this task before sojourning with another grammar. In retrospect it was a mistake to have begun (pluperfect) formal study of English with this book. I feel I would have learned (future preterite) more quickly from a simpler book with more exercises. This is especially true with respect to how grammatical categories interrelate.
I also collected your articles, and programs for review; although, I haven't decided how I want to go about this yet. I removed the two indicated articles from the archive. Your comment did help give me a sketch of the APL Elision, but this doesn't satisfy. I attempted to evaluate your program stepwise, but found I even lacked the basic understanding of parameters, structure, and evaluation order to do this. I've gathered necessary resources to study APL at a later date, but will delay for now.
