Totentanz by Al Sarrantonio... or, uh, however you spell the title and his name.All I know is that that book made zero sense, despite the fact that I read and reread some parts. I didn't really get most of the book, to be honest. Maybe it wasn't supposed to make sense.

I don't really see why a word couldn't become extinct. But, if you don't know about the word, you'll never know that it's actually extinct. And, if you remember it, then it isn't extinct. It's sort of confusing, I guess, but I think words have probably just disappeared before.In this day and age, though, of transfer and storing information, I think it could be quite difficult just to "lose" a word and let it become extinct. You'd have to actively try to get rid of a word, I would guess. That would be hard to do, though. We have the internet - we have dictionaries - we have the merging of the two in online dictionaries.

I gave up on Neopets in early 2003. I go back from time to time for the Altador Cup and the plots... but that's about it. And even those aren't loads of fun.I'm not a huge fan of Neopets now, to be honest. I feel choked by ads any time my ad block is off. The pet customization just doesn't interest me. I think it's harder to find things now. Plus, they seem to force flash on all of their maps. I've never really liked flash, so that's kind of annoying.
