Does Lojban open possibilities not found in >English or close some ways of thinking that are possible in English? From your experience, what can you say about the Sapir/Worf hypothesis? I don't think in words, so I can't address thinking in a language at all, but I can say that I can write passable poetry in Lojban but not in English. I don't know what this tells you. --la kreig.daniyl.
