Oh..... kay....
I wrote a description of how I use carna, with a picture as an
attachment.
I hope it explains my point of view (no pun intended) well enough.
Open the picture before reading this or it will be impossible to
follow.
Yeah, even if I wasn't drunk posting I couldn't understand that huge body of text. If using a basic word requires collegiate or university level maths/physics then I'll drop every fucking account right now and go learn Volapuk just to spite all of you. If you can't phrase it so a drunk / child can understand it, your idea is bad and you should feel bad. zo'o
I fully support la sepla'is idea of still using {carna}. But I also think that carna2 can and should be filled by {mi}.
"the screen rotates clockwise" = {lo tivni ku carna [mi] fi lo pritu}
"the screen rotates counterclockwise" = {lo tivni ku carna [mi] fi lo zunle}
{mi} can definitely be dropped.
{pritycarna}.... etc. is another option.
la selpa'is opinion was independently worked out by me (although I suggested a single new gismu with another order or places (the order is irrelevant)). This (together with lo ka la selpa'i ku jbocre) hints that the issue is gonna be fixed soon.
Please reach Robin if you can and point him to the last la selpa'is post. Or start using {carna} with clarified meaning of carna2 right away. Or just don't fill it at all. Even with this new proposal carna2 still wont be used much.
