[lojban-beginners] end of text-cmavo

"But the expressing of {fe'o} and {mu'o} instead of {fa'o} is probably more correct with respect to the meaning."

Thanks for this tip. I have read the associated passage in the "Reference Grammar" and have learned this: {mu'o} means "I have finished this part of my text/speech. But I want you to continue the conversation (and perhaps I will respond to your utterance)."
{fe'o} means "The complete conversation is over."
{fa'o} means "This is the end of the text. I assume that a computer will use this text." Is this correct? I have read that {fe'o} is used for "The Email is over"; but isn't {mu'o} appropriate?

Are both "MIxael" and "MIxa,el" identically pronounced and both allowed?

.co'omi'e MIxael.
