191: Lojban
| Lojban |
 Title text: zo'o ta jitfa .i .e'o xu do pendo mi |
Explanation
Lojban is an invented language specifically designed to have no ambiguous constructs at all. The authors mainly wanted to see if such a thing was possible, but it has a number of fans who believe the lack of ambiguities is a substantial benefit, making the language easier to use with fewer misunderstandings. However, anyone actually willing to learn a new language for this is someone Black Hat would rather avoid.
Clicking on the original comic brings you to a Lojban translation of the comic.
The title-text is also written in Lojban. It translates roughly as: "That was a joke. Really. Wanna be friends with me?"
Transcript
- Cueball: If you learned to speak Lojban, your communication would be completely unambiguous and logical.
- Black Hat: Yeah, but it would all be with the kind of people who learn Lojban.
