I understand you're reasoning, but teaching wrong lojban to a beginner, especially when it can be avoided, seems like a bad idea. If you want to stick to {la}, then why not use {mi'e la. clalis} instead?

I don't want to sound rude.

That seems rather nit-picky. In my opinion it is always more important that you're understood than that you are right. Especially in a language where "What is that?" is {ta me ma= } because {ta mo} is too vague.

When I am speaking of you in Lojban, I refer to you as {la.mailz.}. I think it would be more confusing to someone who has no knowledge of Lojban to use {zo} in those places, which is correct, rather than using {la}, which jbopre can understand.

It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is .aionys.
