Steady on old chap!  :-)

I am questioning whether lojban should adopt the trig convention of
positive/negative in describing rotation.  Clockwise/anti-clockwise, in
>English<, seems to me much easier to understand than left/right.  A lojbani
could easily enough use minus/plus for the same purpose.
