And I have no doubt made an error or more even in those short sentences! lol. I've just started delving into lojban in the last week or so and find myself inexplicably drawn to it. Started with loglan, but when I found that was a dying language that had more or less been replaced with lojban I decided to switch over. Although the prevalence of initial stops, apostrophes, and mid-word commas was disconcerting at first (as loglan didn't use them to nearly the same extent, as it was more "Englishy" than lojban) they've started to look more normal to me. So, I just wanted to drop a note in and say hi! I'm not sure how much I will be able to contribute at first, as I am the newbiest of newbies to the language, but hopefully that will change as I gain more familiarity with things. co'o la skat.
