Most of the people there know that I speak Lojban. At one point some of my friends started singing a simple repetitive song which could be sung in many styles. One singer invents a style and everyone repeats after them. After they invented several styles, one of them said, "Matt, sing it in Lojban!" And to my amazement and their delight, I could, and they followed along. I would not have done that if none of them had known what the language was. -epkat On 9/27/06, Andrii Zvorygin wrote: > .a'u I was just wondering if anyone here uses lojban when speaking (or > typing/e-mailing) to people that don't already know about lojban.
