    Well, the bar is set quite low, so it must be one of yours. It's the only way you can come out on top.

    Let me start. It failed to leave a lasting legacy of accurate apostrophe usage.

    Anyway, I asked about your stance on Angloromani, so let's hear it.

    Nothing much. The strong always dominate. Now that Britain is weak, the situation is reversed and the Indians are reverse-colonising here.

    HTH

    presumably therefore you have no problem with colonisation as there's no such thing as indigenous in your fantasy world
    There's no such thing as logic in your fantasy world. You equate language with culture.

    And I still want a definitive ruling on Angloromani.

    Mind you, I bet the Basques are good at scrabble.
    I remember when Private Eye did a Welsh language Scrabble conversion kit - a load of 'l' tiles.
