[lojban-beginners] Re: letter-spacing and uppercase

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

Way off topic but, in practical use what are the differences between "ta'onai" and "ji'a"?

In english I might say "the dog is white.  Also, the dog bites".  I could see using "ta'onai" or "ji'a" to translate this, which would be more appropriate?

Yes, I agree. Uppercase letters are ugly va'o lo aski jbobau.
