Apparently I cut-and-pasted from my usual text editor, and I have just noticed the beast to be a smartass: it converts automatically the ascii apostrophe (ascii 39) into byte 146 (which is outside Latin-1 range and apparently stands in my system for the single right quote). Must think I will like it more because it looks prettier. How cute. Now I have two reasons to believe that the sensible thing to do would be converting "'" into "h", not "h" into "'": (1) Some "smart" word processors think ascii 39 is but a nickname for the single right quote. (2) Google doesn't know the lojbanic "'" to be a letter, so it takes "ju'i" as two words, not one. Any of you guys sees any advantage to using ' instead of h?
