I thank my >correspondents for pointing out my previous, erroneous practice. It is only erroneous viewed through a prescriptivist lens: the court says Loglan includes Lojban, LLG says Lojban "is" Loglan. If you want to be understood, you must look descriptively at the language you are writing in - in this case, English as used by Lojbanists. You will see that "Loglan" and "Lojban" have different referents. If you use one where the other is meant, people will look at you funny.
