A nice love linguistic tale: I felt that Didnt was my minimal pair

After a while, I analyze the process of creation of our 2personal e-language; I've always felt/though that we are in contrastive distribution [no doubt of that, we, linguistic people, made that famous IPA chart!! ;-P] But at some point, the serendipity put us together in the same environment and he realize that I didn't change his meaning/purpose... I feel I did, once and over since every single second I meet and love him!! but I am just a linguistic here and now :-( [besides other marked features not relevant for this tale...]

Maybe his substrate language uses less phonemes – that make sense, the little I dare to describe about his features, is that the pragmatism [utilitarianism from inside to outside] is a strong one in him. His interface is so minimalism!! I found that soooo beuty and nice. I'm still loving it/him!! – (ironic that this feature in me is a weak one...)

So, even if I realize that we are minimal pairs, he didn't give us enough time to realize himself, because he is Didnt himself already!!

Maybe he is as happy as I am. And he would find another nice allophone in his path :-)

Or, even more simple: Didnt wasn't my minimal pair... [but... two negatives do not mean affirmative? No, simple it is not that simple, I felt.]

Everything make sense, and... if not. It is a nice love linguistic tale.

* By the way... the IPA chart it is just a chart ;-P, as the elements periodical chart. And who says that we aren't all Minas Kings?
