In the ascertainment of an excogitation of linguistic porclivity, one might ascribe to the mentation that a phratry exists in which some encyclopedists designedly cultivate a nonplussed ambience hypothecated to befuddle the vox populi. hmm...now that i've read it twice, i think i understand it.  So go ahead. let's see how many translations we get. |
