It's basically about the way Lang-8 spaces notes into sentences for correction. It assumes dot always finished sentence. Applying that to carefully written Lojban, we would get plethora of "sentences" between each pair of pauses. To alleviate that, I suggest to: (1) only use dots for {.i}; avoid it anywhere else (2) do not use {.i} at the beginning or ending of a paragraph As far as I am aware, (1) is perfectly correct as long as word endings are marked unambigously (via space) -- so use {ue ua) instead of (.ue.ua), etc. (2) is likely to actually prevent text from parsing as a whole but it's just a reasonable compromise. Again, we're looking for more people to encourage: 1. newbies to join up so they can have another avenue of learning. 2. users of Lang-8 to learn Lojban. 3. the operator(s) of Lang-8 to include support for Lojban. Sign up for an account and friend me! My account is http://lang-8.com/8203 and my friends list contains several more jbopre (I think we have five in total now). It's really quite fun and addictive as it combines two favoured hobbies of the Lojbanist; blogging and correcting people. =D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
