I see many of you replied fast, so I will reply back fast as well.

To Álvaro,
 Hey, nice to see you again and I like your suggestions and it will be very similar.
 I plan for the grammar structure to be like that of Esperanto (verb endings at least) and it might just have one form of a verb. So no present, past, or future, just infinitive. I don't know if that's a good idea, so you tell me and suggest what you think. I thought of making the infinitive -er for many other languages use -er for their verb stems quite a lot.
  Also, I do like your idea for add a suffix to make an word feminine. Though, we might as well find a way to make it fair were it's not sexist. And also, I quite agree with you with those compounds. It can get very confusing and I do like that idea of adding -i- between. In Spanish, that represents "y" (and) so it makes sense. So once we get the word "and" we can shorten that word down and use that for the suffix of combining two words together.

Overall, glad you suggested! It's a major help suggesting things like that! Don't hesitate to comment more! :D

To Scara,
 It's indeed true that LFN is a great language, and I don't deny that. But what you're kind of misunderstanding is that, I'm not exactly "tinkering" LFN, I'm making an updated language that is strongly based off of it. I do see how changing any language will mess it up, I realized that a while ago. I hope you understand I'm making a new one, but just, based off of LFN in a way.
 Esperanto is partially successful for many reasons and that is one of them.

 Yes, I am well aware no language is perfect, I already noted that not long ago. :]
 Also, I don't plan on endlessly tinkering this language once it's done. Heck, I don't even like that. I try to make this language were a big amount of people like it.
 I do understand how you got confused of what I/we are doing, I hope you understand more and ask anymore questions if needed.

I hope that answered your guys questions, just reply more if ya want! :D
