Ouch, my brain and eyes burn! I would feel enshamed if I ever
communicate in this way with any sane living being. ;-)
Briefly, I think this introduces many =93What the fuck?=94 features and
removes a lot of =93Oh, nice!=94 features of Lojban.

Here are the =93What the fuck?=94 moments:
=93lr=94 =3D =93lorxus=94? =93lorxu=94 =85 Meh.
=93m?=94 =3D =93ma=94? Wow, that=92s pointless, it doesn=92t even save you =
a letter.
xD
All words of the form =93consonant apostrophe vocal=94 are a *huge* WTF
for me. Yay let=92s just guess the missing vocal. You have a 80% chance
to be wrong. XD It would become especially fun for the =93k'o=94 series.
Err, sorry, I meant =93ka'o=94 series. ;-)
Not to say that one has to remember a lot of abbreviations. Sorry, but
the rafsi are already enough for me. LOL.
Speaking of rafsi: How would textspeak deal with a very long lujvo,
not to say fu'ivla?

Not that you think I have guessed correctly. Nope, I had to read your
solution first.

And like you said, this pretty much destroys the non-ambigious grammar.
Not to say also a lot of other =93Oh, nice!=94 features in Lojban.

Well, it=92s a nice Nerd=92s Pissing Contest. A joke. But nothing more, so
I don=92t take anything of it seriously. And you shouldn=92t take my
response seriously, too. xD
