Gaeilge (Irish) has a similar thing. "I have a book" is "There is a book at me" and "I am hungry" is "There is hunger on me".

I'm sure you got this in the last AMA, but do you find people have a negative attitude to magpies? And is it because of the rhyme?

I've always thought they were beautiful birds (and Sophie's photos have proven me right!), but I know so many people who think they're somehow evil because "one for sorrow".

I think it's fair to say thay they have come a long way from when they were first introduced and they are improving all the time. My niece has to visit the hospital for software updates every so often. We just hope she'll view us kindly when the cyborg revolution comes 😂

In all seriousness, though, they really have gotten better, but they are a real 'your mileage may vary' technology. Among my niece's friends (many of whom have CIs), there is a real spectrum of how successful they have been and how much speech each person can pick up.

Hi Kim!

I love The Hollows and the world you've created there. It seems so real and so vibrant. I was wondering how much of the lore and spells and magic rules had you worked out before you started, or did it mostly grow along with the characters?

Do you watch Lewis QBall's videos and if so, what do you think of them?

The reason I ask is that some people get a bit uppity about him making fun of himself, but he says he's happy because it makes people more aware of the condition.
