    So many get this backwards.

    The languages (there are multiple, including historical languages that explain the transition into the modern languages) came first - by about 40 years.

    He did not invent languages for his world. He invented a world to explain how his languages would come to exist.

    This is a corn maze. (Not maize) This is a maze made into a corn field by selectively cutting away some of the corn.

    The sign is a joke, because you can just walk through the corn in any direction to leave the maze. This is, however, discouraged. (The mazes usually are for the whole family and not particularly hard in the first place.)

    In American English at least, “maize” is only used when discussing old varieties of corn developed by Native Americans.









  • No. It was you who said the X-Men were never about saving people. I said yes they did. Then you seemed to argue that because the main focus of the X-Men comics isn’t specifically saving people, they are not focused on that in the slightest.

    I agree they almost never talked about it in what I read of the original run, but that was the 60s. I’ve read plenty of X-Men comics (after the 70s reboot) where they arrive on scene and start saving people THEN focus on the bad guy.

    I’m just trying to say that they do save people. Yes, it’s not the main focus of the comic, but why would it be?
