IMHO it looks even worse than most programming langs.. for it lacks the formatting-signs "( )" "{ }" "[ ]" and indentation, but still has a clear grouping. Mathematical expressions in Lojban are funny to read, if there are cmavo for ( and ).. With zbalermorna, this isn't perfect, but at least, most cmavo form a single glyph which is way easier to discern in a scoping-chaos bridi (or complex math-_expression_). > I learned probably a couple hundred words in Lojban before realizing > that "c" wasn't pronounced like either "k" or "s".

Yes, I noticed that too, you have to relearn the correct pronunciation for words individually.. However, when I first used Tengwar to read some Lojban, I also noticed once or twice that the phoneme-glyph I just read wasn't the sound I had in mind, and relearned the word this way. > Chris Capel mu'o mi'e nam |
