[lojban-beginners] z and s

[Brandon Wirick <bwirick@calpoly.edu>]

It seems like people are getting hung up on the concepts of voiced and 
unvoiced consonants. It's a pretty simple concept: with voiced 
consonants, your vocal chords move and make noise; with unvoiced 
consonants, they don't. In English, voice accounts for all the 
significant difference between 's' and 'z', 'p' and 'b', 't' and 'd', 
'k' and hard 'g', 'ch' and 'j', etc. Hope that helps.
