This is the oldest screw-up in Lojban (and Loglan before it). People who can't tell UI from "I am ... that..." bridi are suffering from the original malglico and clearly have not yet earned the right to play with the language. They just need to be gently asked which they really mean (Do you care how I feel or do you care that ...?) and reminded how to say the one they want. This is a clear case of the parse (often) not giving the intended meaning. And all the bad usage in the world will not change that. --part1_7a.2df81e83.2ad2266b_boundary--
