"When Ludwik Zamenhof created Esperanto in the 19th century, the idea was to have a language that would help foster the conditions for world peace."

It's an article listing management speak, but okay.

It seems like a plug for Esperanto, which doesn't have much to do with the subject matter. It is still cool to get the exposure though.

Out of interest I think the term 'bite the bullet' (in the article) comes from duelling with pistols where the seconds would bite the shot to test if it was real.

I'm thinking "bite the bullet" comes from the practice of biting down on something hard to deal with the pain of pre-antasetic surgeries as a way to deal with the pain

It may be thaat all of the above are folk etymologies.

I have added Esperanto translations of the ‘management speak’ items.
