batyatoon just posted a link to The Grammarian's Five Daughters, a fairy tale of language. I actually think that every single one of you would like it. Go ye and read.

I'm at the end of the Third Daughter -- that's brilliant. I'm sure my opinion will only rise.

The Third Daughter's one of my favorites. So is the Fifth. This is not to say I'm not fond of daughters One, Two and Four.

*resists quoting my favorite bits*

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

You're resisting quoting because...?

[muchabstracted.livejournal.com]

It seems too spoilery, somehow.

Ooh. Thank you for shiny link.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Oh that is lovely.

*purrs and bookmarks*

O brilliant! Thanks.

That's very cute. Linguistics and gender equality. Huzzah. Though it is a bit on the strong side of Sapir-Whorf.

I will now bore you posting it in my own LJ with this exact same comment. Bwah hah.

That was brilliant! Thanks for the link!

Now that's just fun.

*approves, unsurprisingly*

Tres Norton Juster. And I'm quite fond of Daughter Four.
Rather: I think quite fondly of Daughter Four.

That is a truly awesome fairytale, and it (along with the backrub I was getting) has prevented me from going to bed for rather too long. But it was worth it (even if I don't think so tomorrow morning).
