Precisely. As to the whole {cu} vs. {ku} thing, I am completely dropping it. I think we can all settle on "we need to make sure newbies learn all of the terminators and actually remember them, but who cares if they use them". I'm happy with that, I think everybody else can be happy with that. I'm not going to say one is better. However! I will continue to argue the point that there should at least be research done to determine if there are distinct dialects occurring. I will agree that cu vs. ku is not a dialect in of itself, but I do see different ways of speaking. It's not even so much a regional thing as a generational one. It's like the difference between how your parents sounded as kids and how you sounded as a kid. So, chainlonglanguage vs. shortlanguage? Obviously the way I speak and the way kribacr speaks is not the same as the way xorxes and selkik speak. In my mind there are two broad styles of speach; shortspeak and longspeak. I'm not saying they actually exist, but it seems to me as if they do, and I would definitely put myself in the latter category. I'd say kampu, kribacr, and a few others are in there as well. We actually got rather confused when xorxes used double-cu, so maybe there's something to examine. --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
