Re: auto-insertion or VSO



I recently commented on my "intuitive" translation of Lojban sentences in
relation to the SVO/VSO debate. jimc posted a caution which is worth
noting, however: obviously, I am thinking in English. A native speaker of
of another language would very likely have a different "intuition", and
these biases, I understand, are something that the creators of Lojban are
actively trying to engineer out, as a fundamental principle.
        All of which argues for the importance of non-Anglocentric input
into the process....
