Why does Lojban use apostrophes instead of "h"'s? It seems much more 
natural to use "h"'s, as it keeps words together (consider that an 
apo'stro'phe ins'er'ts sp'ac'es i'n'to wo'rds, breaking them up and 
making them harder to read as one word).

Is it acceptable to use, e.g. "keha" instead of "ke'a"? Or will people 
become angry?
