[lojban] Poll (not lojbanic, but whorfish)
If you see a plastic bag with two books inside and a pair of shoes,
how much items do you see? And, if your answer is not 1 or 5, list
these items, please.
Yes, this is all about mapping between reality and language. The poll
is also posted in my blog (in Russian), results will be compared.
The question is not invented from scratch, it arose from a real-life
confusion between me and my wife.
