 Content preview:  L.S. My name is Afke and in my philosophy class we have recently
    discussed the Sapir-Whorf theory, and currently my classmates and I are working
    on a project concerning whether this theory is, according to us, correct
   or not. We are doing this through the means of setting up a hypothesis and
    testing this hypothesis on the basis of applying it to a specific case. Our
    group has chosen the Lojban language as our case, and we were very excited
    to have come across your website and discovering that the Lojban community
    is still very active. Therefore we thought it might be possible to contact
    you and ask you some questions concerning our project, which, if it is of
    no inconvience, we would very much like for you to answer. Assuming that
   you are familiar with the idea of the Sapir-Whorf theory, which claims that
    people speaking a different language will percieve reality in a different
    way, our main question is whether you would agree with this theory or not.
    Does being able to speak in a different, logical language also mean that
   you are able to think in a different, logical manner? And seeing that Lojban
    (most probably) is not your first language, do you believe that people are
    able to learn to change the way they percieve reality, just like they are
    able to learn a new language? So for example, does someone who can speak
   a Native American language as well as regular English have the possibility
    to view reality in two different ways? Is this the reason you are so interested
    in Lojban, because it enables you to think and percieve the world more logically?
    And if not, where did your interest for the Lojban language come from? If
    it is possible for you to answer these questions, we would like to hear from
    you soon! [...]
