Here's some fun from the [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles community.

Proverbs

  4. Prodigality is produced by precipitancy.
  5. Pulchritude does not penetrate the dermal layer.
  6. It is not proper for mendicants to be indicative of preferences.
  7. The number of your immature gallinaceans must not be calculated prior to their being produced.
  8. A perissodactyl ungulate mammal may be addressed toward aqueous fluid but cannot be compelled to partake thereof.
  9. It is fondness for notes of exchange that constitutes the tuberous structure of all satanically-inspired principles.
  10. Lithoidal fragments ought not to be hurled by tenants of vitreous abodes.
  11. A beholden vessel never exceeds one hundred degrees Celsius.
  12. A feathered creature clasped in the manual members is the equivalent value of a brace in the bosky growth.
  13. A detached fragment of the terrestrial lithosphere, whether of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic origin, and whether acquiring its approximation of sphericity through hydraulic action or other attrition, when continuously maintained in motion about its temporary axis and with its velocity accelerated by an increase in the angle of declivity, is, because of abrasive action produced by the incessant but irregular contact between its periphery and the contiguous terrain, effectively prevented from accumulating on its external surface an appreciable amount of the cryptogamous vegetation normally propagated in umbrageous situations under optimum conditions of undeviating atmospheric humidity, quiescence and comparative sequestration from corrosive-erosive agencies.

vilakins: Vila breaking into a vault (thief at work)

I am considering using an LJ client, which I'll need if I decide to put my fiction on a live journal (which some of you think is a good idea). The links LJ gives aren't much help, and only one of them even bothers to provide a download option.

So, those of you who have a client, please tell me:

  • Which one is it?
  • Is it WYSIWYG?
  • Can I drop in text with italics, long dashes, and centring, and have it formatted correctly?
  • Good points?
  • Bad points?
  • Where do I go to download it?
