gollark: Maybe this is some deep underlying feature of language™ or maybe it's just a quirk of the 8 languages they picked.
gollark: The information rate is weirdly consistent given that information density and syllable throughput vary quite a lot.
gollark: Surely you can simply speak faster.
gollark: * zstandardized, not gzipped
gollark: At GTech™, we just use gzipped osmarkslanguage™ over high-throughput optical links.
