''.i u'e mi bebna'' But I check the web archives regularly. * see ((mailing list hosting)) - moving away from Yahoo ---- I largely agree with ((Jay Kominek)) about Lojban policy. * Long live the baseline. * Tinkering with the language tends to damage the community. Even arguing about tinkering with the language is bad. Seeing the debates nearly drove me away before I'd even finished learning the ((gismu)). * I ignore experimental words and proposed changes in meaning or ((place structure)), and discussions of them. ** ''((Experimental cmavo)) are officially part of the language. Do you ignore all of them too?'' *** Calling them a part of the language is arguable. A portion of cmavo space is set aside for them. Nothing is defined in it. You can say that experimental cmavo are a part of the language, but can you say ''xa'o'' is officially part of the language (truthfully)? **** ''No. However, certain experimental cmavo and other unofficial constructs are used, and thus (tavlykai that I am) I would call them part of the language as it is actually spoken. For example, ''ka'enai'' is definitely part of the language - even though the book thinks otherwise. - mi'e. ((kreig.daniyl.))'' **** How many people have to start using and understanding ''xa'o'' before you'll consider it part of the language? Now, ''ka'enai'' is a good example of the actual language diverging from the baseline. *** Yes, I ignore them. I don't know any of them or feel a need to. I haven't found anything I want to say that seems to call for additional ''cmavo''. ''mi'e jezrax'' * ((Bob LeChevalier)) is usually correct.
