Check out Unigolyn, "an individual from Estonia." Especially this post, about looting and anarchy after a totalitarian regime falls. And I am glad I was right about the site description -- it is in Welsh. I just have one question: why Welsh and not Estonian?
Posted by Andrea Harris at April 21, 2003 01:32 AMWell, simple - my long-standing internet handle has been 'unigolyn', the Welsh word for 'individual'. It's also the name of my blog. Since the word 'individual' appears in my site description, I thought having a welsh version of it would be a good way to explain my handle and the name of the blog.
And why not Estonian? Well, my blog's not in Estonian, so it wouldn't make much sense.
Posted by: Sam at April 21, 2003 at 08:57 AMWell -- yes, but it's not in Welsh either. (Don't misunderstand -- I am not criticizing, I am actually fascinated by both the Welsh and the Estonian language and wondered what the connection was.)
Posted by: Andrea Harris at April 21, 2003 at 11:58 AMTrue, then again I'm a welshophile and try to use it wherever possible :)
Posted by: Sam at April 21, 2003 at 09:06 PMOh, and my first impression was that you were chastising me on my bad Welsh. How's that for insecure?
Posted by: Sam at April 21, 2003 at 09:12 PMOh, I couldn't criticize -- I don't speak a word of it! I'm fascinated by it anyway, though.
