Strictly speaking, I think, in the context of such a poster, "learn how to
swear in Lojban" is not really a command. Isn't it more of an abbreviation
of "(If you come to this event you will) learn how to swear in Lojban"?
Of course, I have *no* suggestion for how to express this in Lojban, so
maybe I should just shut up <g>.
