They look really nice Larry! The rings fit the color scheme really well.

I'm not really satisfied with this illustration. Error is one of the words that is kind of hard to think of a good image for. I'm using a common computer symbol to begin with, but that may change if I think of something better.

Perhaps if you made it more similar to what people are used to seeing in the error message: black on a yellow triangle. Or, there's also the white X in a red circle. Or, you could do "404." :wink:

Yeah, that seems like a better idea. You're not the only one that doesn't get it as an exclamation point on a red circle.

Found an illustration I like more, and changed it.

Rotfl! I was not expecting that. Great picture! :lol:

Mind you, this is just a guess, but she may have lost a few points right about then. :wink:

Maintain is an abstract verb, and I'm still having a meltdown of my imagination trying to figure out how to illustrate that kind of thing in one succinct image that doesn't also apply to completely unrelated words. Hope the image I chose does the job modestly well.

I like your choice for maintain. Plus it looks really cool.

My exact thoughts!

I haven't gotten a new one up today because I hit a long string of words that I could not think of an illustration for. I found one that I want to do just before I had to leave for work, so it'll be later today.

By the way, you misspelled the word for "rebirth": it should be DevoKån, as per RAWA here

I was asked about a phrase that roughly would mean "reading/listening to a historical account". I cannot find words for read, listen, or hear. So I tried another phrase, and extrapolated two of the words from existing terms. Let's see how you all translate it and if you think it makes sense:

.tagArem mefenta pam bobarelem avetE og
.Tagārem mefenta pam bobarelem avetē og

[Reveal] Spoiler:

"You learn from history or you will create [old] errors."

Now, I don't know the context, but I feel that the imperative would sound better - thus tagArema

A suggestion: wrap the pictures in spoiler tags. Trying to load (as of today) 15 not-terribly-small images just to look at the last one is too much for my not-so-great internet.

That wouldn't help with loading times - spoiler tags only hide the content visually, the images inside are still loaded by the browser regardless of whether you open the spoiler. (At least I think that's the case, maybe the forum software was updated at some point.)
