Hey, everyone.

I read a newspaper article recently. I summarize: ... I thought it
would amuse you.

Bye, Steven


---------------------------

That's what I wrote, in Lojban and English. I had wanted to make the
last sentence, "I doubt we can use this to successfully argue for
the universal use of Lojban, but I thought you would find it
amusing." but couldn't figure out the phrasing.

The "I doubt...Lojban" part is throwing me. I've got

.a'onai mi'o pilno ko'a
[doubt] we can use it

and

mi'o snada darlu
We successfully argue

but am having trouble linking them and also putting in the bit
about using Lojban. This also ignores the fact that I cheated
by using an attitudinal rather than writing "mi senpi" and
figuring out how to express what I doubt.

Suggestions, anyone?


Thanks,
Steve Furlong
