So the first argument says it’s in all-caps in English, it has to in Lojban, too. This is a strange argument. By extension, we could also start every Lojbanic sentence with a capital letter because in the English version, every sentence happens to be starting with a capital letter as well, despite this is clearly against the rules. I defeat the second argument by drawing a new picture for you :-). I have changed the picture a little bit so the label does not read “DRINK ME” but “ko pinxe mi”. I am not a very good artist, but I tried my best. You find the PNG image in the attachment. If you’re interested, I can also upload the XCF file for The GIMP and also an image for “ko mi pinxe”. I uploaded “ko pinxe me” because it slightly looks better in my opinion. Lastly, the rules for which you write random words in all-caps seem to be more or less random and inconsistent. From another e-mail I read that “KREFU” was justified because it was a “metalinguistic comment”. -- Wuzzy XMPP: Wuzzy2@jabber.ccc.de E-Mail: wuzzy2@mail.ru -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
