Haha, maybe i should go on AUXLANG and see how much arguing my system can
create (nah, i already am on too many lists as it is) :). Part of the
reason i made one preposition cover a whole host of the same ones in
English was because i am kind of lazy. Although, i think auxlangers who
dislike ambiguity would throw a fit over my system: "How the hell are you
supposed to know when someone means "to", when you use a preposition that
also is used for "between"?!". It would actually be interesting to use the
prepositions for marking case. perhaps i might make a daughter language
some time in the distant future and do just that.
