Thank you for pointing out the fa fi, inconsitancy.
I'm for removing words, but Not for narrowing the vocabulary.
It's just we have a lot of words, that are just insulting, like cultural

I'm for removing words, but Not for narrowing the vocabulary.
It's just we have a lot of words, that are just insulting, like cultural
gIsmu. What about the Hungarians?
It's not going to narrow your vocabulary to take out synonyms like lOjbo= , we
already have la lOjban. no point in having a cultural gIsmu too.  T= ake the
example of sOfto. English doesn't have a verb for every nationality, and= I
think you'd be hard pressed to find a language with such an odd concept.



lOkadin,
When you stop capitalizing vowels unnecessarily, I'll start reading your= posts again.
