Gleki, I agree about the mentioned practices not being neutral, but it's
not cultural.

Cultural neutrality means not biasing words, grammar, etc. in favor of any
one culture. As in, not using words which are too Australian, or forming
sentences in a manner too Asian. (I'm trying to use examples which don't
potentially confuse language with culture.)

IFF we had chosen to not have a word meaning "left", but instead decided to
use {to'e pritu}, then yes, it would not have been a neutral move on our
part. However, it would not be a CULTURALLY-biased move. Right-handed
people vastly outnumber left-handed people in /every/ culture throughout
the world, so obviously right-handedness is not a /cultural/ bias.
