But if a computer ever becomes sentient, I hope it would come up with its own language, if it needed one. I don't think Lojban would be such a great language for it, especially as its native language. It has lots of good features, and it's worth learning, but there's almost nothing good about the vocabulary. stevo --part1_66.49f26c5c.2ec60abf_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In a message dated 2004-11-12 5:21:3= 9 AM Eastern Standard Time, ecartis@digitalkingdom.org writes:
