Talk of our discussion transpired into #lojban. The consensus is that
using tadji is wrong or malglico:

[11:01] <selpa`i> .i ma tadji lo nu ciska lo vi valsi -- does feel
slightly off. Personally I'd use dratai or similar
[11:01] <@xalbo> "How do you spell this word?" as {tadji} feels malgli
to me. I very much prefer {ma lerpoi zo broda} (or whatever)
[11:02] <selpa`i> See we all agree :)
[11:02] < @xalbo> If the answer is "With a pen", then you're asking
the wrong question.

"To date, no jbocertu has made a comment one way or the other."

This statement is still true.

Also, you people use maglico way too often and inappropriately. {maglico} refers to things which are wrong because they reflect ENGLISH. If it's not an anglicism, it's not malglico.
