OK, let's kill this thread before the Lojban lists turns into the Great Window Manager Debate. And don't anyone dare start talking about vi and emacs!



First, let me say that vim is the best editor.

I'm beginning to wonder why there should be a way to indicate stress at
all.

The only place where you currently can choose stress is cmene. Why
should you be able to do that? It's clear where a cmene ends anyway (it
ends with a consonant and a pause).

In cmavo, you may stress however you like but the cmavo are still the
same words. In brivla you must have penultimate stress. Why not just
make it acceptable to stress a cmene in whatever way you like?


Because people get touchy about their names. pi,ER. probably doesn't want to have people calling him pi,er.

I don't expect my friend Lara would enjoy being called any of the lojbanized name forms one could think up. Why be picky about stress?
