Well, um, y'know, Christophe, maybe if your conlangs weren't so maggelitous,
you might be able to achieve that desirable goal. Of course, I say that as
someone who can't utter very many sentences in Lojban either, but that's because
you have to *think* in Lojban to talk Lojban, and that is real work. Besides,
I have zero talent for memorizing vocabulary, so I can parse most Lojban but
I have no idea what is being talked about.

???? Do they have Frank Perdue chickens in France? Say it ain't so, Joe!
(Anyway, it would sound like a weird mixture of franc-tireur and enfant perdu.)
