to me. I very much prefer {ma lerpoi zo broda} (or whatever)
[11:02] <selpa`i> See we all agree :)
[11:02] < @xalbo> If the answer is "With a pen", then you&#= 39;re asking
the wrong question.

"= To date, no jbocertu has made a comment one way or the other."

=
This statement is still true.

Also, you people use maglico way= too often and inappropriately. {maglico} refers to things which are wrong = because they reflect ENGLISH. If it's not an anglicism, it's not ma= lglico.

I said malgico, and I meant i= t. Using {tadji} for "How is this spelled?" is like translating = =AB=BFC=F3mo se llama?=BB as "How are you called?" or {ma tadji l= o nu rinsa do}. The "how" is an accident of the fact that colloqu= ial English for some reason chooses that instead of "What is the spell= ing of...?"
