Hmm. Why do you translate soldat to Neten if only 10 ppl can speak it. And only one of the plays soldat is you. I dont get it.

Seeing as only 10 people speak it, and 4 others who do play soldat, I think I can assume it is some language he made up with his friends. Kind of like pig latin or something of the sort.

(...) (especially if it is just something one person made up out of boredom).
Thus Smegma is just criticizing (sp) a thing for being created out of boredom WITH a thing created out of boredom amongst other things.
He chose to use his vocal chords instead of his hands (which are good enough to convey everything needed)

QuoteThus Smegma is just criticizing (sp) a thing for being created out of boredom WITH a thing created out of boredom amongst other things.No, it was created out of necessity. QuoteHe chose to use his vocal chords instead of his hands (which are good enough to convey everything needed)See, this is wrong. Sound doesn't require eyes to be in your direction. A loud shout is more likely to draw attention then a man holding up his hands. So, to surviving would be more likely using sound as a dominate form of communication (we do use more then one sense to communicate though).This neten, seems like it was some little language a kid created, and it serves no immediate purpose. It doesn't help anyone to understand something better. Atleast your mind works in the correct order, you just can't get the ideas straight.Also, you cannot seem to grasp the point of why I find it stupid. It isn't because language is created out of boredom, it is that this language sole purpose is to entertain the one who created it. This is fine, but making a whole big deal out of it is pointless. If we DID use sign language (as your post states), then this would correlate to him making a new signing method. You do know sign language isn't universal, there are different languages of the hand.
A loud shout, huh? You don't actually need language for that. ANIMALS make noices that can be understood by other animals. You could also throw a stone at the one whose attention you want. (This'd probably mean that you'd get a bigger stone back)
