With each line the scope of the analogy becomes narrower. In my opinion, that comparison doesn't really work: love somewhat converges (though people might disagree), but english pronunciation diverges so horribly with every new dialect you add to your repertoire, that it might confuse you to the point where you aren't even sure what letter stands for what sound and you will start foaming from the mouth and fall over and eventually die. mu'o mi'e timos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
