Worse yet, thanks to the spamming industry, you'll have to type the address yourself, though you could also cut-and-paste <tt>markrose</tt> and then <tt>zompist.com</tt>. <center><img src="contact.gif" height="20" width="229"></center> <p>Note, my name is Rosenfelder, not Rose. <p>Why this page? Well, so I can put in <b>announcements</b> like this: <br> <font color="#FF0000"> <blockquote> <p><b>Replies can be slow</b>. I love getting mail but I'm way behind on replies. <p><b>Unfortunately required note</b>: Mail that starts out with insults will be junked without response. This is for your good as well as mine: if you're that upset, chill out and rewrite later; your letter will be better for it. </blockquote> </font> This page is also a good place for some <b>frequently asked questions</b>: <font size="-1"> <p><i><a href="#link">Can I link to your site?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#grab">Can I put some stuff from your page on my site?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#error">You made an error!</a></i> <br><i><a href="#tell">Can you tell me...</a></i> <br><i><a href="#know">Do you know how to say --- in ---?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#know">Do you what language --- might be or what it means?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#send">Can you tell me --- by Friday?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#send">Can you send me --- in --- format?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#name">I found my family name, ---, on one of your pages!</a></i> <br><i><a href="#conl">Can you look at my constructed language?</a></i> <br><i><a href="#french">Je suppose que vous parlez français ?</a></i> </font> <dl> <dt><b><a name="link">Can I link to your site?</a></b> <dd>Sure. Thanks. <br> <dt><b><a name="grab">Can I put some stuff from your page on my site?</a></b> <dd>I'd really rather you didn't. I'd rather my stuff be in one place where I can make corrections, track usage, etc. If you like my stuff, you can always link to it. <p><b>Exception</b>: The sci.lang FAQ can be freely redistributed, so long as credit is given and you don't make money off it. <p>Partial exception: <b>translations</b>. If you want to translate some pages, e-mail me. <br> <dt><b><a name="error">You made an error!</a></b> <dd>No doubt. But please tell me what page it's on. There's over 240 pages on this site! <br> <dt><b><a name="tell">Can you tell me...</a></b> <dd>Possibly, if your return e-mail address works. This hasn't been so much of a problem lately, but I used to get a surprising number of mail from terminals or accounts that couldn't receive replies. <br> <dt><b><a name="know">Do you know how to say _______ in ________?</a></b> <br><b>Do you know what language _________ might be or what it means?</b> <dd>No harm in asking, but if I don't reply, I probably don't know. I refer to a lot of languages on these pages that I don't speak! <br> <dt><b><a name="send">Can you tell me _________ by Friday?</a></b> <br><b>Can you send me _______ in ________ format?</b> <dd>Well, probably not. This is entirely a sideline for me. I love mail, but I don't really like mail that creates extra tasks for me. :) <p>Special note on the <b>Language Construction Kit</b>: The Kit lives in just two files, <a href="kitlong.html">this one</a> and <a href="kitgram.html">this one</a>. So it's really not that hard to download it all. Or spring for the $0.99 e-book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Language-Construction-Kitlet-ebook/dp/B007AQVUI8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1329594995&sr=1-1">on Amazon</a>. <br> <dt><b><a name="name">I found my family name, ________, on one of your pages!! </a>What does this mean?</b> <dd>This happens surprisingly often. I have a bunch of constructed languages on my site, with thousands of invented words; see <a href="virtuver.htm">Virtual Verduria</a> for a general introduction. It's almost always a pure coincidence. You can't invent that many words without duplicating some word in some real language. <br> <dt><b><a name="conl">Can you look at my constructed language?</a></b> <dd>I'm afraid I can't; but there's a better alternative: Put a description of your language up on the Web; then give the URL on <a href="http://www.verduria.org">the Zompist BBoard</a>. (You will have to e-mail me for the secret code to create an account.) You can get some feedback this way; please be willing, as well, to review projects that other people announce there. <br> <dt><b><a name="french">Je suppose que vous parlez français ?</a></b> <dd>Oui; vous pouvez m'écrire en français. <br> </dl> <hr> <center><a href="default.html"><img src="homer.gif" border=0 alt="Home" title="Home"></a></center> </body> </html>
