[lojban] Re: Named multiples

[Lindar <lindarthebard@yahoo.com>]

I do not like this idea at all.
Leave names be names.
What's wrong with {.i mi klama fu le mi karce no'u la .opel.} if you
have to be explicit about the brand name?
I've never had a problem with {.i citka la .spagetis.} at any point.
You're eating something named spaghetti. It's the name of the dish.
You're driving something named Opel, it's the brand of the car. Stop
trying to conform Lojban to your native language.
If we make cmevla usable as selbri, then there's little to no point or
motive to create or use fu'ivla, and then we might as well just say
"fuck it" and use all English words written in Lojban phonology. This
is a horrible idea.

By your logic we may as well say {.i mi .going. .stor. .xaus.}, and
then why bother? Just speak English. >_>

To me you're now breaking the uniqueness of Lojban by essentially
making a really stupid shortcut so nobody has to use fu'ivla or lujvo
ever again.
