Re: If you were to design a language, how many vowels and consonants would you use?

Nathan Sanders:

Why focus so much attention on changing accepted
standard terminology?

Is there an accepted standard theory of language to apply the
terminology to?

It seems like it would be far more productive just to do actual
linguistics,

If lexicography counts, then I'm in it to up over the ears at the
moment.

rather than (fruitlessly) try to impose your own
idiosyncratic jargon on the field.

Is it only my jargon that's idiosyncratic? I hoped my ideas would be
so too.
