[lojban-beginners] Proposed change to smart.fm items

[Kevin Reid <kpreid@mac.com>]

I propose to change the English text for the following gismu place  
items in the "Lojban gismu" smart.fm goal as follows:

  lo se djica	something desired => a state desired

    To emphasize that lo se djica is not a physical object.


  lo te troci	a method of trial => a method tried

    The existing wording sounds like "a method of testing", not
    "the way we tried to do it".


  lo se troci	something tried => ???

    This seems misleading in that it sounds like "I tried a new food"
    or similar. "something tried for" would be better, but I don't  
quite
    like it.


  lo te jimpe	a subject of something understood =>
                    a subject understood about

    Trying to make the relation clearer.


Please let me know if you disapprove of these changes.
