The idea a'usai ui, but pe'i it should include all UI, including
discursives, and redundant English words shouldn't be used. Pehi
juhoruhe periods shouldn't be used as required by Lojban, since that
makes the English harder to read, and juhoruhe we shouldn't use
apostrophes for y'ybu since it'll look more like English if we don't.

Lojban starts taking over your speech!

(Did I use {ze'u pu'o} right there? As in "until eventually"?)
