You can avoid this embarrassment!" This makes the logical part of my brain laugh every time I read it. Translating that into lojban we get ".i ju'i .i lo na'e lumci be lo xance be do be'o bei ba'o lo nu pilno le lumku'a cu ba jai se tolzau la'acu'i lo kansa be do bei lo nu gunka .i do kakne lo nu rivbi le za'i se burnygau" It seems to me there are several billion people who don't wash MY hands after using the bathroom (their using, or my using? It's not clear). I don't really care if my coworkers approach them, nor am I really sure if my coworkers would. And how would that embarrass me? --gejyspa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group. To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com.
