But it wasn't until a few days ago when a friend told me about Lojban that I really looked into it. I read about Lojban and Esparanto and read some articles comparing the two, and to me Lojban's system looks significantly better than Esparanto's. I must confess that I haven't given other constructed languages a chance. I fell for Lojban pretty quickly. Constructed languages had to happen, and I'm a big fan of logic, so I'm gonna make Lojban my new hobby :) So now you know why you'll be seeing me around here, bothering you with basic questions ;) >I'm from Denmark, and my thinking is half in Danish half in English. >See you >- Shindra _______________________________________________________ Sent through e-mol.
