Re: [lojban] Re: Lojban's leadership and how I don't give a shit about it

Depending on how you look at it, the disagreement you mention isn't actually there:

"Reply to me, only when you understand..."

"Reply to me only, when you understand..."

So, I'd say the problem isn't that the English and Lojban disagree, but that the English can be misinterpreted.

If there's an example which has an error, I would most likely recommend just fixing the error- with a note in the wiki edit as to what was changed, of course- but I don't think anything more than that would need to be done.

I was reading the section "Causation sumtcita" and noticed an example where
the Lojban and English disagree:

i ko spuda mrilu mi po'o fau lenu do tcidu je jimpe ti
 Reply-mail to me only when you read and understand this.

In my dialect (but I've heard usage of "only" that makes me wince), the Lojban
means "Reply-mail only to me when...", and the English means "ko spuda mrilu
mi fau po'o...". If I find an apparent error in an example, or something that
should be clarified, should I ask the shepherd of the section, discuss it on
the wiki, or what?
