On the one hand, I agree with you. So what? If it's almost Lojban, who's to say the differences are not just a mistake, handled through context and further explanation.On the other hand, Lojban may be prescribed, but it's not proscribed (i.e., denounced, forbidden, condemned, prohibited).

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Lojban is a proscribed language, so there's /only/ one form. If you're not using that form, you're not using Lojban.

I mean, we should gather complaints like that and make new versions of Lojban from time to time (once a couple of years?).If there are annoying things in Lojban and we know how to fix them, then we should stop complaining and do something! It's our language, there's nobody to stop us!I have similar thoughts about jbovlaste, but I'll better start another thread for that.mu'o mi'e ianek
Well, as far as gismu are concerned, we're not currently allowed to make any changes. By the statutes of our community, the "baseline" of the language is not allowed to change until the entirety has been documented. This only means gismu and cmavo, btw. We're allowed to make and edit as many lujvo, fu'ivla, and cmevla as we want.
In other words, when the goal as stated on this page has been met, then we can start actually making improvements to the base language, such as regulating the place structures to remove exceptions. Until then, however, when it comes to the baseline, all we can do is talk, moan, discuss, and complain.
