Lojban is a wonderful, many-layered jewel of a language. I'm loving it. If I have one setback about the language, that is the huge amount of cmavo that I have to memorise with each chapter; but I love the precise distinctions that Lojban makes between different conontations of the same English-equivalent: it gives us dim-witted English-speakers something more to think about :p

Did anyone ever attempt to recuit their friends to Lojban? I sure tried, but they think that I'm wasting my time on it o_0...well, when Lojban becomes well-known in 50 years time, THAT will show them, alright :p

I wonder when Lojban WILL become widespread. When that day comes, what will we, the early birds, be known as? The 'first thousand'? Would we get any special treatment for having studied the language for years before it came to everyone else in the world?
