Re: [lojban] criticism of lojban needed



My two major complaints:

* it's hard to learn and remember all places of some gismu and lujvo, and their order
* terminators are hard to parse by humans when they're nested in several layers (vau kei ku vau vau)

mu' mi'e ianek

My troubles actually speaking the thing on a daily basis:

1.  The total lack of idiom

2.  The incredible self-similarity of the gismu makes keeping them
straight extremely difficult for me in practice (i.e. when speaking
at full speed).

3.  *WAY* too many c/s/j sounds; so many accidental tounge twisters

Tongue twisters can be applied to 2. as well, right?

In general I think your three points are more important than other suggestions.
Could you publish them on a wiki or on your website so that we can link to it from Wikipedia?
