Re: [lojban] Illogical English Sign

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

Is it?  If "forgotten" is an action I've heard people use english like: "I can't believe what you did".

Maybe my understanding of proper english just isn't strong enough.  It does kind of seem like people mis-use "what" for "that" in some cases.  Maybe this is one of those cases.

Also, I don't know why I said "lindar" earlier when I meant gejyspa.

 It HAS to be the first one, in English.. the second is "I can't
forget THAT you've forgotten."
