Mi provin tio en mia reformo dum ioma tempo, sed fine forlasin lo - mi
ne memoran presise ciale, sed evidente lo ne sucsesin ade plesi al mi.

I tried that in my reform for a while but finally abandoned it - I don't
remember precisely why, but apparently it failed to continue to please me.

Mi usan presises tias, por "li/si", "lia/sia", "lis/sis" e "lisa/sisa". Mi
tamen retenan distingon inter unas, inas e aferas pronomos, car mi trovan
tio tute utila.

I use precisely those, for "he/she", "his/hers", "they/them" and "theirs".
I nonetheless retain distinction among masculine, feminine and inanimate
pronouns, as I find this quite useful.

Mi estan preta usi alias pronomos, sed yen mia tabelo. I'm ready to use
other pronouns [assuming I like them], but here's my current table:

mi      nos
vi      vos
li      lis
si      sis
le      les
lo      los
su      sus

Ciele vi vidan, ance mi usan -s por la pluralo, qancam con vario en
la unua e dua personos. Nos consentan ance pri la uso de -a por posedo.

As you see, I too use -s for the plural, though with variation in the
first and second persons. We also agree on the use of -a for possession.
