Oh for crying out loud.

First of all, what the *hell* is this doing in lojban-beginners??
Language proposals *do not belong here*.

That's not a benefit, that's horrifyingly awful.

.i.ienaicai .i lu lo verba cu cusku lu .i viska lo melbi .yyyy= . li'u .i lo vy. mamta cu cusku lu toldi li'u li'u mupli loka x= amgu

Secondly, if you continue someone else's sentence, *you're being a<= br> dick*, just like in English.

.i.ienai .i xu do pensi l= odu'u lo mi mupli pe lo mamta tolclite
=A0
If you really need to do so, just use
{.i go'i blah blah}.

.i.ienaicu'i .i mi la= zni
=A0
New speakers are speaking new utterances, because anything else is
confusing and obnoxious. =A0Period.

.i mi na tavla lon= u cnino se cusku .i mi tavla lonu cnino jufra

=A0And this discussion doesn't
belong here.
