Hemicomputer suggested (in a PM) that this would be a good transcription challenge.

Here's a Dorothy Parker quote that includes a word most writers of most natscripts would have "censored" during most of history.

At the end of her honeymoon her editor asked her why her column was late. She said
"I had a wedding and then I was on my honeymoon. I've just been too ----ing busy. And vice-versa."
Now, in English, that's been written as:
"I've been too ----ing busy and vice-versa" (no hint what the missing part is)
and as
"I've been too f---ing busy and vice-versa" (the missing part begins with an <f>, but no hint how long it was)
and as
"I've been too f***ing busy and vice-versa" (the missing part begins with an <f> and is four letters long).

If your conpeople wrote this in your conscript, how would they, in your conculture, show the "f"-word?

MUAHAHAHAHHA! Twisted Evil

About time someone does something like this. Käläli does it in loads of different ways. You can either put a strike through what ever curse word that's there or you could use the *'s but they look different in Käläli writing.

I'd show you all of the ways but since my scanner hasn't been hooked up yet I can't atm. In the Romanization of Käläli you just do it like the usual English ways.

Yuwö ima zuko tasil! Twisted Evil

↑ Sorry can't tell you what that means......you don't wanna know. Hehehehe!

I'm pretty sure we'd like to see.
At any rate, I'd like to see.

Tasil means you.

As for what it means......it's an example of a Käläli insult that if I were to tell you in English would simply mean "Go to hell" or "You can go to hell" hense "tasil"

It was posted as an example.

And then you could write it like this:

Yuwö ima z*ko tasil

And I would show you in the script but you know the story.

Another way of writing it is like this:

Tasil yuwö ima zuko.

Tasil yuwö ima z*ko.

↑ Is another example of blocking out curse words.

MEMIŠU KURIMASU!!!!

Curse words would be written like this:

Vers would be written as v-r nasilyo as n-s-l--.

The 2nd, 4th, and everything after the 5th are blanked out.

Well in Gwakkian you could say Śáltôst (meaning you are not in favour of Tôst) or bófártúk Tôst (meaning that you are an enemy of Tôst). Those would be very heavy curses, but would be considered acceptable to write, as it is important for it to be recognized when someone is worthy of that designation. It is, however, highly insulting.

Actually, I was referring to Tôst as the figurative "being" (for lack of a better word) viewed as sacred by Gwakkians. It would of course be more proper to say "Îwa", but as this is more of a colloquial insult, Tôst would be more common, so as to more broadly encompass the greater concept of Tôst itself.
