I remember ages back I had been suggesting people call the web {la ve'e vrici vreji} or {la ve'e vrici vasru}. {ve'e} is a bit of an exaggeration, but it matches "world-wide", and {la} covers a great many sins of semantic inaccuracies. It's not a brivla, I'll admit. ~mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group. To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com.
