OK, clarifying my stance on the lo quantifier thing.

It's not the inner quantifier change I'm worried about. The two or three times that someone has really *wanted* to quantify the entire universe of objects can go stuff themselves, although I *am* curious as to how to say "One of the pictures I can draw, of which there are only two in the universe" in the new lo.

What I'm worried about is the change that this effectively makes to the behaviour of the *outer* quantifier of lo. "An outer quantifier can be used to quantify over instances of the generic individual or group.": "or group" is what I'm worried about. "pa lo broda" used to me *exactly* one broda; now it can mean one *group* of broda, unless I'm missing something.

This is a major and drastic change to past usage, and I cannot support it.

I doubt that fixing it is difficult, but it needs to be addressed.
