True. Point is though that I'm lazy. Although I could use said blog to publish some of my works... :P

Make a sig post. Basically, a post full of everything you want in your sig, and you just need a link to it in your sig!

Where would I put it? A Factbook entry?


Hmm....Maybe the awesome quotes thread?

Dyakovo - ᏛᏯᎪᎥᎣ(Dvyagovo)


Problem here: the "v" (looks like "i") actually is not the consonant "v"; it stands for "vowel" (aside from a/e/i/o/u Cherokee has a sixth vowel, sort of an indistinct schwa sound, "uh", nasalized in certain contexts) so what you have for "Dyakovo" would actually be pronounced "duh-ya-go-uh-oh". I would think "dla-go-wo" a better transliteration: the "dla" is the one that looks like three berries (I don't know where to get a Cherokee font), and "go" is the "A" like you have it but "wo" a double-loop thing.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, a comedy to those who think, and a musical to those who sing.

I am a holy terror to apologists Confederal,
