Re: [lojban] la .alis.

I'd say, like fifty years of discussing these things (not constantly, of course, unlike some other points).  For the record, I point out that I am in favor of using capitals on proper names (as Dodgson specifies in his text -- he was careful about such things) and dropping periods just about everywhere,  I also think some capitals at the beginning of real sentences (i.e., not just bridi) would be good, but can't get a clear idea which would look best (well, I is pretty much out),  I like my ijeks as one word and think there must be a way around the one comma.

A number of people have said that they are interested in the project, not just John. (John introduced me to Lojban, and is a colleague of many years.)

I have some specific things I'd like to discuss, and will present it when it's ready to be presented.
