Och! What a nightmare! If it's "really cool" to make Lojban "parsable" whilst making it to all int= ents and purposes *illegible* by removing its white-space, then it is certa= inly justifiable to entertain going in the opposite direction, and applying= something approaching standard Western typography to the language. :-) Michael --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
