"ti" is wrong in any printed text without some overt deitic pointer like
a pretty graphic arrow (omitting of course the degenerate case of "ti"
being quoted, in which case one need not expect the deitic reference to be
identified.  "dei" and "di'u" and "ri" and probably a few other words were
added to Loglan/Lojban specifically to rid the ir meanings from "ti".
