It's hardly as I wish; I think it's moronic. Almost all of the language is
other than I would wish it to be.

Indeed. Your project is somewhat quixotic.

I wish Lojban did less violence to prevailing typographical and
orthographical conventions. I hate that sodding apostrophe, that makes the
written language so instantly recognizable. But it is what it is, and if it
were what I wish it were, it would be an utterly different language.
