       @profoundlynerdy Ambiguity is both a blessing and a curse depending on the purpose. You can use ambiguity to lie, but you can also use ambiguity to evade censorship. So I think lojban may share the fate as other constructed languages.

       @profoundlynerdy Ambiguity is both a blessing and a curse depending on the purpose. You can use ambiguity to lie, but you can also use ambiguity to evade censorship. Ambiguity is also an essential element in what separates art from propaganda. So I think lojban may share the fate as other constructed languages.

       @likho CBS should buy the rights and rebrand it as high Vulcan.

       @likho @profoundlynerdy ambiguity is also a great tool for jokes, where you mean all the meanings

       @likho Wait, are you saying lojban is LESS ambiguous than other languages? Tanru are just... if I say "gerku zdani" you can't tell if I'm talking about a dog house, or the house of a girl, who owns a cat, who was chased by a dog.

       @cy I was talking about the stated purpose of the language ("syntactically unambiguous human language"). I had no idea if it had fit its stated purpose.

       @likho Well, it is syntactically unambiguous, but semantically... it's just wild.
