I really like it.

I think currency wasn't a problem (there isn't a gismu for dollar... I
expect) so this could be rapidly implemented. (I'm going to do scripts
for this and for the language one.)

Many people may think all of this is pointless, because they don't care
about cultural neutrality, or don't like the method, or whatever. I
think there will be people that won't use this fu'ivla, people that like
this, and people who are against this method. I would like to know the
opinions of the last two groups (since the first one won't be affected
if we upload this to jbovlaste, for example).
