SUDDENLY, LANGUAGE LAWS!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
IT IS HERE, FINALLY. That which many of you have been waiting for and asking for, and that which we mods have been racking our brains over and which we finally figured out! That which comprises yet another BEHEMOTH of Landel's Damned guidelines!
LANGUAGE LAWS AT LANDEL'S
We tried our best to explain everything as thoroughly as we could, and though there's a simple little version of the rules up top, we'd like it if everyone read through the giant thing at least once so that we're all on the same page and there aren't any misunderstandings.
But haven't all these rules been contradicted by just about everybody in the past? Yes, they have! But it's okay, since we're just going to do a cleansweep and make it so that, suddenly, at the very beginning of this Nightshift, Landel's magic will make everyone's language perception snap to fit those rules, and from then on, we'll be working off of those guidelines.
I know it's a lot to read, but at least it'll help us all be consistent, yeah? D:
In other news, as you can see here,Court has totally kicked my ass again we're slowly but surely getting to the finish line! (I sacrificed app-reading time today to work on the Language Laws, as I figured we should clarify all that before Nightshift.) Hang in there, those of you who haven't gotten e-mails yet! D:
Also, Leora, where are yoouuuu? MR. PUDDLES NEEDS YOU

And time for question the SECOND!!
Ok, so I should have thought of this back when I should have been asleep, but anyway... I'm considering that there are different "eras" of languages. Like if you compared modern English to Ye Ole Shakespearian English, or something. It's pretty easy to differentiate if you have an English character like that (because hey, we all should know English), but how should characters with like... old Japanese versus modern Japanese react? The Bleach Shinigami would probably still use an older kind since their world is a few eras behind the modern one, and there are other characters coming from the feudal eras of Japan as well.
