Usage of metric symbols in English is to put the numeral before the symbol with a space between them. What should be the usage of symbols in Lojban (of course using symbols breaks AVI, but if a writeup uses {ki'otrefi'usnidu} a lot, you may want to use symbols)? Do you write "lo ml 750 botpi" or "lo ml be li 750 botpi"? phma -- Ils pensent que j'ai un cancer du thé russe... -Les Perles de la médecine
