That's not the point; a good flashcard system lets the *user* decide if they got it right, because computers are stupid. If I find myself saying "to go" for "klama", and I change it, then on the days that I find myself saying "come", I'm wrong. If the computer requires that I use particular keywords, *no* solution is correct. It's making you memorize the wrong thing, as I said. -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
