Us Discordians of course use a 5-day system, which I haven't thought
yet of how to translate into Lojban.  We do so purely for
wrench-throwing purposes, though, so if everything else is less
consistent with our system then all the better.


Also, while I'm on this thread: Dear Everyone: Stop proposing gismu
and rafsi.  Haven't you any idea what a mess you'd make of Lojban if
you actually made new gismu with new rafsi twice a week like you're
always proposing?  Make some zi'evla, we're nowhere near having too
many of those.

In my entire time in lojgugde, I can remember /exactly/ two instances wherein a person has proposed a new gismu; The first was a proposal for a gismu for all non-arachnid jukni, and the second was in here. That two proposal in nearly a decade.

I think you might be overstating just a bit.

Also, I dislike zi'evla for the same reasons I dislike fu'ivla, which I will not repeat again in here because I'm sure I've said them often enough I don't need to.
