when the green tide will pour across the lands, scouring out the unfaithful.
Yeah, man! Let's have an Esperanto Jihad.

Thanks EVERYONE for your responses! These all pretty much summed up how I feel too!

One more humorus(?) question: Does anyone here tinker with LOJBAN?

The only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about ...

We need more people like Claude Piron. Turn their dismissals of esperanto around.

Troyus23, regarding Claude Piron's debunking of "Ranto" you may want to add this page too, which is a private correspondence between him and a student. I actually find this a more compelling read than the main article, but both do a pretty good demolition job on Justin Rye's ill-informed and deeply unpleasant screed.

I think that we should reform the English language. First, off, we must absolutely find a norm for the pronunciation of "the" - then we might add a plural to "you" - the folks in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA) have a cute one: "y'uns" - I like that! mmmm - and then the spelling - how about ...
If we put it to komencantoj like that, they may reconsider. I bet they never thought about reforming their mother tongue. As a matter of fact, no, on second thought forget it

robbkvasnak:Then we might add a plural to "you"
Here in the Carolinas there are actually degrees of plurality :

you - singular
y'all - plural
all y'all - emphatic or extended plural

There's a clear difference in meaning between :

I've had enough of you!
I've had enough of y'all!
I've had enough of all y'all! (with stress on the first "all" ) ridulo.gif

Amike,

Paul

I gave up and started learning toki pona instead, because it is several million time easier!
