Re: [jboske] RE: [lojban] djedi li integer




la djan cusku di'e

I read no such implication into 22.0 or for that matter into 21.99999...
Both of these are representations of integers simpliciter.

They have the same denotation, but very different connotations.
"21.9999..." tells me that the number probably is badly
formatted computer output.

Saying "I have 0.9999... apples in my hand" would be as odd
in Lojban as it is in English, even if true. The only
advantage is that in Lojban we have a clear way of
saying the "..." part.
