Re: [lojban] Re: Proposal: loi lerfu tcita detri; the final word on the problem of dates and times?



Not sure anyone agrees in how to mark places in jbojbo definitions anyway. Though if you watch Selckiku's old videos, he says {xyxipa} not {xypa}. That said I still like this date notation :)

I've not heard of that proposal. Wouldn't that just break all uses of {xy pa} when talking about the definitions of words? 

Besides, {me'o} still works, paralleling the use of strings for entry of ISO dates in programming languages. I just prefer {li} because
  • It's shorter
  • Dates and periods technically *are* numbers in a certain sense; arithmetic can be performed on them, despite the fact that in some ways they don't act like real-numbers, due to the varying length of months and years.
