(We are neighbors and even use the same Internet service provider.) I admit that because of personal impairments I have never made an attempt to learn the language. To be honest, I find it rather intimidating (the more so with its almost completely idiosyncratic meta-terminology). After this time, I am still asking myself: What is Lojban all about? What is it for? What is it good for? Why go to the trouble to learn it in the first place? Quite frankly, so far it seems to me to be little other than a head game rather than anything practical.
