Blech! Numbers are so inconsistent! Half of them are even and half are odd, and then there's only some that are prime and some that are not. And you can't even use all of them in place of one another. And don't even get me started on decimals and base systems! It's about as inconsistent as languages, with their different types of words that can only be put in very specific places with all these weird rules and exceptions.

very wise words @krixano if only the rest of the world thought and felt that way, literally AND figuratively lol · 6 months ago
@superfxchip Right. Hopefully my point gets across though, that a little bit of inconsistency is actually useful, and if you try to get rid of all inconsistency, you get something too general and even more formal than lojban, and lojban is already on the edge of being unintuitive and complicated. Inconsistency is sometimes actually a good thing. · 6 months ago
