Agreed. Though, again, it will depend on how you mean "realism" here. Do you mean "realistic" as in correct by the book on Vulgar Latin? Or do you mean "realistic" as in not artifical sounding, simulating the *life* within a VL dialect, but not necessarily being a direct descendant or close relative?
That would be the difference between realistic and naturalistic as I use the terms. I like tomato halves fried in olive oil and sprinkled with thyme. My son can't even stand the sight of the fried tomatoes! /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch atte melroch dotte se ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "C'est en vain que nos Josu�s litt�raires crient � la langue de s'arr�ter; les langues ni le soleil ne s'arr�tent plus.
