Message-ID: <20030518010137.GA3216@digitalkingdom.org> Mail-Followup-To: lojban-list@lojban.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i From: Robin Lee Powell X-archive-position: 5327 X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: lojban-list-bounce@lojban.org Errors-to: lojban-list-bounce@lojban.org X-original-sender: rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org Precedence: bulk Reply-to: lojban-list@lojban.org X-list: lojban-list The reason why I brought up the no-capitals orthography idea is that the CLL, and other sources, explicitely state that: Lojban uses a variant of the Latin (Roman) alphabet, consisting of the following letters and symbols: ' , . a b c d e f g i j k l m n o p r s t u v x y z omitting the letters ``h'', ``q'', and ``w''. when this is, in fact, patently false (I don't see G or A er E there!). Not a big deal, but I find it mildly annoying. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
