Re: [lojban-beginners] Orthographies! (not asking which is the best or whatnot, just a general poll)



la .arpis. cu cusku di'e
I rarely write, so lowercase Latin letters, cause that's what's on my
keyboard. I like the notion of explicitly marking accents (e.g. like
here:
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/The+Princess+and+the+Pea#lo_noltrut_u_po_cp_na_lo_d_mbi_translation_by_selpa_039_i_),
but I don't do it myself because that's more effort.

It may look like (too much) extra effort, but the truth is I can write at almost the same speed with that orthography. I have a custom IME for Lojban where accented vowels are simply shift+vowel (= 2 key presses), and were the i and u with underdot or breve are all on the q and w keys (again only 2 key presses for each of them).

I also use the following symbols because I think they're pretty and do help facilitate reading: «lu li'u» (to toi) —sei [se'u]— zo'u:

Sometimes pondering the use of a comma with incindental clauses, e.g. {mi ca lo nu ba'o broda lo brode, noi brodi, cu brodo}, but until the comma gets abolished .a'o I won't experiment with this further.
