On declaring a set of cmavo "deprecated"

posts: 953

Rob, please take this in good faith. I am very happy with the thoroughness on your research, but I have to disagree with several on your conclusion, viz. the deprecation(sp?) of unused cmavo.

1. There is no tradition in the Loglan project for declaring parts of the language as "deprecated". A construct is either permissible, or ungrammatical. The LLG should decide what is and what is not part of the language, but should not decide how people should use it.

2. The non-usage of a construct is not a sufficient reason to change the status quo. I believe we have been through a similar discussion, either on the PHPBB or on Jboske.
