[lojban-beginners] h or apostrophe

Why does Lojban use apostrophes instead of "h"'s? It seems much more
natural to use "h"'s, as it keeps words together (consider that an
apo'stro'phe ins'er'ts sp'ac'es i'n'to wo'rds, breaking them up and
making them harder to read as one word).
Is it acceptable to use, e.g. "keha" instead of "ke'a"? Or will people
become angry?

I used to feel the same way, but I have gotten used to the apostrophes. Unfortunately, my word processors don't think the same way I do.
