Lojban (the green language)

OK, fols here it is….

You should all be proud of the Lojban languge.  I
endorse this language and have, after further
consideration, found it pleasing and original.  You
should all check this out.

    to "dt":
    I know that your ringing endorsement
    of Lojban was dripping with sarcasm.
    All I wanted to know was why you
    thought the original Loglan to be
    superior to Lojban.

    No, the ringing endorsement was really true, not
    sarcastical.  

    But, I don’t approve of what I percieve to be a
    large dose of ‘linguistic affirmative action’ that
    Lojban  seems to possess.  In addition, the
    etymology seemed a little bizarre, especially since
    few chinese would recognize the Lojban derivatives
    as their own.  I think Lbjan needs a lot more
    research whether native speakers will like this
    system better.

    for example: suupose they were going to
    lobjanizetheis word:
    think

    Since they don’t use th, it might come out something
    like ‘sinki’  I would prefer as an english speaker,
    to have a very different word, than a mutilated, and
    frankly unatttractive version of my own language.,
    I bet that’s how a lot of people out there feel.
    This is lojban’s main shortcomings.  other than
    that, the endorsement stands.
