George Boeree | Re: [LFN] Re: Lingua Eurana

Hi, Muhammed.

I guess it's a matter of what our intentions are.  My feelings about LFN
is that it has reached a point where we are only working out a few
details -- new words for special concepts, catching errors, and so
forth.  So now I would like to promote LFN as a more-or-less complete
entity.  It has "flaws," as you point out, but they are flaws that are
retained in order to make the language more useful rather than more
"perfect."

I have no problem at all with your project -- only with where you put
it!  Stephan's suggestions may work for you.

Best wishes,

George
