[lojban] Re: Elephants Dream



That fact is very relevant to Lojban and how we translate the title. I
was thinking about this in relation to the title of Vernor Vinge's
latest science fiction novel "Rainbows End". Vernor Vinge said when he
was a guest of honor at this year's ConFusion science fiction
convention that he very deliberately wanted it to be plural, not
possessive.

Machinima when it pretty clearly isn't. Although, the working title
was Machina which sounds similar.

I should point out that there isn't an apostrophe missing in the
title. That's how they spell it on their site, and they discuss it as
being like elephants dreaming in the Making Of videos.
