Hey, I'm just telling you how it is. I'm not saying that {nu} should be
the default, it just happens to be that it IS.

No, it's not. You're wrong. Why can't you accept that even after several people have shown you that you're wrong? You're providing the beginners that this list is dedicated to with misinformation.

{nu} is not the default, so it's *not* always right. You can't djuno a nu, nor can you zenba a nu.

As I said, I'm not saying that I agree with it, nor am I saying I think it's correct. What I AM saying is that that is how it is, regardless of whether it makes sense, regardless of what the definitions of the various NU are, and regardless of whether it should be something else.

That said, I do happen to agree with you. That, however, is not my point. This is not my opinion, it is the current state of the language. And I am not the first nor the last to find things about this language that could - or indeed, should- be changed for the better.
