[lojban] Re: experimental cmavo in lojgloss.



What Daniel proposes is much simpler, but I'm still not sure I see the
point of it. It won't do anything useful for humans, nor for a
computer parser.
 
Experienced Lojbanists are relatively unlikely to make blatant grammatical errors.
They remain (depending on character, I suppose) prone to making all sorts of mistakes,
grammatical or otherwise.  As a result, the {le'ai} construct is often employed to make
corrections even when there are no grammatical *errors* anywhere in sight.

For example, the #jbosnu channel accepts only grammatically correct Lojban.  Hence,
you may not use {le'ai} constructions there.  But that would be useful to correct mistakes,
despite the fact that grammatical mistakes are not even allowed in the first place.
