History: abuse of the orthography

Source of version: 3 (current)

* Taking advantage of the rule that you don't have to pause after ((la)) and not even slowing down after ((la)). ''feladjos. mi tavla'' sure looks like I'm adressing someone named Feladjos and telling him/her/it that I'm talking. But it actually means "I talk to Joe". ''NO. if feladjos. were a legal cmene, it would mean "feladjos. talks to me." Since it is not, then as the numbering after the fe-tagged sumti continues fi, fo, fu, rather than reverting to fa, it means that Joe talks about me.'' ** The second part of your statement is right. ''fe la djos. mi tavla'' means "Joe talks about me". Whoops. But you are wrong in thinking an unlabeled vocative becomes the x1 - ''felydjos. mi tavla'' would address Felydjos and state that I talk. *** I believe it means "tavla la djos mi": "[[Observed:] Talking to Joe about me!" * Replacing spelled-out numbers and symbols (yes, there are a few symbols) by the number or symbol, for a kind of Lojbanic l33tsp33k. (Yes, I comprehend exactly how evil this is.) The still-experimental ((Capitals as letter names|use of capital letters as lerfu)) might also occasionally come into play. Here's stanza 3 from [http://www.opoudjis.net/lojbanbrochure/brochure/bradi.html|bradi je bandu]: i 8'u pa nan5 co kri3 je tavla cu ca ve'u jgira bo cusku lo bravla i mis0 bo sazri le slA ke cradi i ti'e le nan5 le jecta cu bradi ** The official parser will actually accept this, because it replaces digits by the corresponding 2-letter sequences as soon as it sees them, without regard to context. *** Well, ''slA'' would have to be changed back to ''slabu''. Anyway, that almost makes me want to get the official parser and try it out. ** There is something obnoxiously cool about this. ''--mi'e mark.'' (Yeah, __punk Lojban__...) * Using nonstandard stress and nonstandard word grouping simultaneously to counteract each other. ''ilad. cu__kla__ ma le zar3'' --((rab.spir)) (uh-oh, do I really want to take credit for this?)
