Oh, fuck me, I just noticed...

Daniel?

DANIEL?!

You're going to come here into my private den not on anon @kevinromierlo-blog and call me Daniel?!

So I guess that's who I am now? Not that it would make a difference. Let's run the simulation and see what happens:

Daniel Jacob Patterson was born in 1980 in Mesa, Arizona to a young travel agent named Sally Orton. After graduating from Mesa High School he attended the University of Arizona where he majored in astronomy. As a breadth requirement he took a lower division acocunting class and found his true passion. After graduating he quickly became a Certified Public Accountant and joined Powell Accounting Professional Services in Scottsdale. After sever years he'd built enough of a client base to branch off and start his own practice in south Phoenix called Patterson Accounting. The business expanded quickly, and soon he was able to open other branches in Flagstaff, Kingman, and Tucson. In 2014 he was able to achieve a lifelong dream when he published his first book on accounting software called The Art of Accounting Software:

The book revolutionized accounting practices across Arizona, culminating in Patterson giving the keynote address at the 34th annual meeting of the Southwest Accounting Professionals Service Organization (SAPSO 34). His speech—"How to EXCEL with Modern Accounting Software: Best Practices and Practical Advice"—nearly received a standing ovation before SAPSO president Helen Shackleford called for order.

Tragically, Patterson's life was cut short when, in 2017, he took a false step off of a moving walkway in Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport, falling backward and landing awkwardly on a large roller bag.

The man's been dead seven years, @kevinromierlo-blog, and yet you're confusing me for him?! Two words: HOW?!

(The second word is also "how", but I used up all my italics and caps.)

Hi Daniel! Beyond awesome stuff! Especially love the glyph for joy in your wife's honour. Not to mention the gorgeous engraved ring!

The website omniglot.com (through which I satisfied my love for languages and scripts since I was 11 years old) always includes a translation of the first UN Declaration of Human Rights. Could you produce one in High Valyrian?

Here is the text: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

Thank you!

I'm not going to do anything for Omniglot until they fix some of the absurd things said about some of my writing systems. For example, if you go to High Valyrian right now, the image they use for the writing system is an alphabet where one glyph lines up with each letter in the English alphabet. It is, indeed, what happens when you type that in the font, but that's just to have something appear when you type each key; that's not what the system is. Honestly, it's gone off the rails the past ten or so years specifically with respect to conlang scripts. It is in no way a reliable resource when it comes to conlang scripts.
