How to grow a language

 The weather is gustimple.

It has been a while since I posted, but last time I spoke of growing letters. S is the primary grower of food for L's the Letter Ladle. They grow fresh letters, ripe for consumption. Now, letter growing works a little different than it does in The Phantom Tollbooth (by Norton Juster)*. Whereas he has letters growing from trees, letters really grow from time and the rich soil of human minds. Many people, words, and even sentient letters, grow letters. S is but one of these farmers, working primarily for the Letter Ladle. In the last post, 1** placed a fake one*** in the battle field for X to defeat. They then ran through the fields in order to get to the main S house. This shows the extreme quality of the letters S makes. Enough to fool an extreme battler into thinking that an L is a one. For the letter growing process, you plant a period or some sort of random symbol in the mind. You then water the symbol with a need for communication and fertilize it with imagination. After that, you make sure it is exposed to the light of time. After some exposure to the time, the symbol will grow into a mighty letter. And that, is how to grow your very own language! Have fun!

* which is a book that you should read if you haven't already.

**Phew, I escaped X!

***A lowercase L.
