Re: [lojban] Stress of the penultimate syllable

Perhaps it is easier to read for you, but it makes it very difficult to
read for me. There are, as I know, two major styles of writing normal
Lojban -- dotted and non-dotted. Dotted is like CLL uses, every
mandatory pause is dotted. Some folks (like xorxes) prefer to not write
in the dots since they are not needed when we write with spaces; which
we all do anyhow.

Neither of these established styles allow capitals outside of cmene. For
comparison, think of accenting every polysyllabic word in English. Yes it
might serve a useful purpose, but it's not the accepted way to write
English. Lojban doesn't have any need for the accents because it's
always accented in the same place.

Boiling it down, I don't like the accents on every word because it's not
needed, it's distracting, and none of the other text in the corpus or
baseline does it.
