I was just wondering a lot, and two thoughts came to mind that I wanted to
ask the community.

1) How does lojban deal with jargon?  Mathematical jargon has been
considered, but what about others?  In materials science, a "dislocation"
means something completely different and only marginally related to what it
means in medicine.  Do we just use the same word and rely on the fact that
we're talking about people and not copper?

2) Is there a lojbanic solution to the fact that people really like to
shorten long, frequently used phrases?  It's inherently ambiguous in the way
that lojban doesn't like, right?
