I hear news sources calling this 'Esperanto Day'. I thought December 15th was Esperanto Day.

It's the day of the publishing of Esperanto's first book, so some people call it "Esperanto book day" or something.

Some people like using this day instead of December 15th as "Esperanto day" in order to keep the focus on the language and reduce the focus on Zamenhof (some people feel that too much emphasis is put on Zamenhof, and that he has become some kind of "saint", which he certainly did not himself support or feel comfortable with). December 15th is Zamenhof's birthday.

You can see why his birthday, versus the day of publishing the first book, might be differently emphasized by people coming from different viewpoints.

One time Colbert said something in Dutch that was so badly pronounced that it almost made my ears bleed. However, he is playing the part of an ignorant hyper-conservative, so it makes sense that his character can't pronounce other languages even if his life depended on it.

The birthday of Zam has changed to the Esperanto Literature Day.

Do books count here? I picked up "Off to be the Wizard", where the magical spells are in Esperanto. Ish. Not really correct Esperanto!

> Finally, Phillip said “Let’s try something else. Say kopio objekto.”

> "Cool. See you then. The location code is Gary la antaŭa korto, get it?”

> Martin furrowed his brow. “Say what again, trabo de ruĝa lumo?”

Or something really obvious... they attempt to verbalize the Konami Code (up up down down left right left right b a start) and left right left right is put as: "Lasis dekstra lasis dekstra."
lol

The recent Youtube video by CGPGrey contains several example reddit posts which are in Esperanto.
