Cast

gollark: This is very cool. You could use the 3D visualization bit for lots of things, like... planning buildings? Spying on things behind walls with block scanners?
gollark: "old great green Swedish" dragon is valid, "Swedish green great old dragon" seems *wrong* somehow.
gollark: Oh, this reminds me, apparently English has some fixed ordering for different kinds of adjectives which native speakers don't notice.
gollark: You can also just use words/grammar differently to other people.
gollark: Not *just* that.
