Of 191 subscribers just now, there were 11 easily spotted duplicates for a maximum of 180 distinct subscribers. Of these, 50 had not US domains (all of which are likely to be non-US), and another 13 are known to be known to be non-US (or non-English native in the US) (there are probably a few I did not spot), so we have 63 of 180 non-US or 35%. Of the non-US subscribers, 20 are from English-speaking countries or are known to be English native speakers, which means that 43 or more of 180 are non-native English speakers, or 24%. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org (newly updated!)
