Is it just me, or does "making a better lojban" come up every 6 months or so?
Not to derail your thread/enthusiasm NH, but I swear to god, if we had as many people learning lojban as we have trying to redesign it / design loccan, our user base would be huge

I'm being reasonably optimistic thinking it'd take less than 5 years to make a Lojban successor... I'll have a week off in the next few days, so I won't debate the new-vocab issue now...I never said that current users should switch, only that they should work on a better platform for possible near-future adherents.I study linguistics as a hobby, but I can't agree or disagree with the specific issue you cited. In any case, Lojban-2, Loccan-3, Loghnat,... etc should be built in a pyramid model taking into account all the points ye have raised countless times in which I've no doubt; ie. there should be simpler 'layers' of the same language that wouldn't need the learner to know the language perfectly before he can use it minimally!I may not have made my point very clear; I apologize but I'm very busy today.Regards,MN
