Yeah, quite a few people complimented me on my ti and the jai that goes with it. I'm sorry about those I didn't answer... It probably should have been dei, but I stand by jai. (tu'a would have been ok as well)

I'm sorry for not answering in lojban: although my recognition is getting better, my recall is still sketchy and I can't really write stuff without wordlists. It is really cool to be able to read 300 caracters of solid lojban without really having to do an intermediate translation into English.

I'm surprised only one person picked out the fact that the x2 of mrilu is not the recipient. In particular, Evgeni knows tha the x2 is the mail, as indicated by his use of le se mrilu and yet the incorrect place structure didn't bother him enough for hime to point it out.

for those of you who still haven't responded, mail me privately: epfl att lojban ddott org
