I went with "Other" because I support the general ideal of a constructed international auxiliary, and I think Esperanto has the greatest likelihood of success, such as it is in minuscule terms, given that realistically I think that almost no conIAL has much likelihood of success against the juggernaut of English.

I put for fun, but idealism would be another good option. If you gave a a genie in a bottle and I got three wishes, one of them would be that everyone knows Esperanto, and then possibly another would be that it was the official IAL.
Esperanto is a fun hobby, but at the end of the day I'm not going to bother if I don't somewhat believe in its goals.

Alkanadi:What is your primary incentive for Learning Esperanto?Partly because it's fun, and partly because I'm a language nerd, but I selected "other" because my primary reason is actually related to OCPD, or something like that. I want things to be regular and consistent, and have been disturbed by the inconsistency of English for as long as I can remember. I intensely dislike irregular verbs, and irregular nouns, so when I discovered Esperanto online and read that it doesn't have those things, I couldn't resist; it was love at first sight
! It is so psychologically satisfying that I can't live without it; I'd rather put up with all the naysaying of my friends and family, and the loneliness of being the only Esperantist I know. The afore-mentioned grammatical reasons are what got me into it, at that point I didn't care whether anyone used it or not, or what its purpose in existence was. Since then I have become more interested in the E-o community, and connecting with people in other parts of the world.
