There are, as I know, two major styles of writing normal Lojban -- dotted and non-dotted. Dotted is like CLL uses, every mandatory pause is dotted. Some folks (like xorxes) prefer to not write in the dots since they are not needed when we write with spaces; which we all do anyhow. Neither of these established styles allow capitals outside of cmene. For comparison, think of accenting every polysyllabic word in English. Yes it might serve a useful purpose, but it's not the accepted way to write English. Lojban doesn't have any need for the accents because it's always accented in the same place. Boiling it down, I don't like the accents on every word because it's not needed, it's distracting, and none of the other text in the corpus or baseline does it. pei? mu'omi'e aleks to la lokadin pu ciska de'i li 2006 pi'e 10 pi'e 30 toi > mi rovu'upAmoi slAka bAsna .i ki'u la'edi'u sAmpu se jImpe mi > > There are actually three levels of stress --- primary, secondary, and > weak. >> [ li'o ] To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
