"Why you Borklandian yorlix, hasn't everyone been slashed or thwacked with a magic wand or had a morningstar or two broken over their head as a kid? Shit, if that's the worst thing your Mother did, you should consider yourself fate-blessed and smooch the ground she hovers over because you probably deserved it.

Fracking wurtbag..."

Scrape CL, apply a lexical categorizer (porting Syntactic[0] to Python now), pseudo-randomize, apply Tangle[1] as a front end; allow users to scale between language species-norms over categories and submit their creations, apply a speech-to-text tool, there's a voting board involved.

The point here is that I find prescriptive morality to be quite droll. Upon reading this HN title, I immediately dashed over the CL to see if any analogues might exist. The CL in my State took on a characteristic countertone to this HN post. I intuited this immediately. The output post above is a follow-up to the OP [on CL], where the output post is consistent with the HN OP. But there's more hilarity now.

Goal: Use "nerd" activities to diffuse prescriptivism. Now I have a port to consider and maintain.
