Re: [lojban-beginners] Curly bracket quotes



Yeah, pretty much, but it's a convention, not a hard and fast rule.

I'd like to straighten some things about notation. I've never seen any
explicit explanation, but here's what I've figured out myself:
* double quotes are for quoting natlang text, eg: "red" is an
adjective
* curly brackets aka braces are for quoting Lojban text, eg: {xunre}
is a brivla
* lojban words used in their original meaning are not quoted (like
{brivla} above)

Some people mix it up (maybe myself sometimes too).
If I'm wrong, please somebody correct me.
