Creation and Usage Notes

Among the things I was most happy with in Trigedasleng was the reintroduction of a definitive second person plural pronoun. Right now English has a kind of unofficial second person plural that has specific regional/dialectal connotations. In Trigedasleng, it simply is. Quite handy!
