I have a question of plurality in practice. This question is primarily 
directed to those who are fluent in Lojban and have done some considerable 
translation work from other languages.

I am wondering if you found the lack of plural forms at all "tiresome" (for 
lack of better way of putting it). In other words, did you constantly find 
yourself having to add "pa", "ro" or other quantifier in order to convey 
the intended meaning of the original?
