Modus Operandi

edit

Plurality

edit

This user is plural; we have two members, Eszter and Lily, who will front and edit Wiki projects. It is not required to memorize our names; referring to any of us by our username DancingGrumpyCat is sufficient.

If we use a first-person pronoun to describe ourselves in totality or in plurality, it will be "we" or a similar pronoun in any language. Any one of us referring to themself alone will use the pronoun "I," or again a similar pronoun in any language.

Eszter

edit

Name

edit

My name is Hungarian in origin. It is a cognate with Esther (Hebrew: אֶסְתֵּר).

Pronunciation

edit


Pronouns

edit

Ze/zir/zirs is a set of neopronouns (see also gender identity). They are declined similarly to she/her/hers in English:

Inflection table comparing she/her with ze/zir
Pronoun: she or ze
Example 1 (NOM): I liked the edits she / ze made.
Example 2 (POSS): I don't agree with her / zir decision.
Example 3 (POSS): The rights to that design are hers / zirs.
Example 4 (DAT): I gave my permission to her / zir to do that.

Pronunciation

edit

ze: US: /ziː/  zir: US: /zɪr/  zirs: US: /zɪrz/

Xe/xir/xirs is also an acceptable pronoun set, pronounced the same way.

Preferred pronouns in other languages, and other gendered identifiers

edit

In languages with personal-gendered parts of speech such as Spanish or Hebrew, refer to me in the female (Spanish: ella/su, Hebrew: היא). Please never refer to me with any masculine identifiers (including "sir"); female or neutral ones are available in any language.


Lily

edit

Name

edit

My name is directly derived from the flower, genus Lilium. It is also short for Lilith (Hebrew: לִילִית Lîlîṯ).

Former name

edit

I formerly went by and will still respond to Violet (US: /ˈvaɪəlɪt/). I currently use it as a middle name.


Pronunciation

edit

(IPA) /ˈlɪli/ (Lily) or /ˈlɪlɪθ/ (Lilith).

Pronouns

edit

My preferred pronouns are the same as Eszter's.

Interests

edit

Computer programming

edit

We have been programming for 8–9 years, since our junior year of high school.

Editing/Proofreading

edit

We enjoy editing, proofreading, and generally any maintenance task which appears more clean, polished, or complete afterwards.

Game development (tabletop)

edit

We create board games.

Vector graphic design

edit

We create vector art, mainly for use in diagrams and our board game prototypes.

Linguistics

edit

We speak English and Spanish with fluency, and we study linguistics for the purpose of conlanging and worldbuilding. We'd like to learn Yiddish, and have an interest in the cyrillicization of Yiddish writing from a linguistic standpoint disregarding any political implications.

Mathematics

edit

We have a calculus-level understanding of mathematics and we are learning linear algebra.

Music

edit

We have been practicing cello for 14–15 years, practice piano occasionally, and study the theory of how to play many other instruments. We use this knowledge to compose and write about music. We have an affinity for xenharmonic (also called microtonal) music. We appreciate videogame music and its composition but have no experience with DAWs.

Our taste in music to listen to ranges from Western art music to heavy metal to big band, among many other genres.

Pedagogy

edit

We aspire to teach ourselves and others with accuracy, brevity, and clarity.
