Very interesting, I found it interesting that business was being attempted using Esperanto, which puts great confidence in the language. If I'm correct, isn't that what the chaps at Interlingua were aiming for (a language that can be used for business applications as well)?

ceigered: I should look away and read it later .. But I still can't help but read the articles ..Glad you liked the article. As it was a short one, hopefully the distraction from important stuff would be minimal.

As for Interlingua, this webpage by the late Don Harlow suggests that it was never intended as an 'international' language, but that its aims were much narrower, being comprehensible only to speakers of romance languages and possibly English (if they're well-educated).

thanks for the article, it was an interesting read, the end was a little confusing though. The author could have improved the article if he had been a little clearer on what he was trying to say. It kind of seems like 2 articles in one, but either way it was a interesting article.

But Don Harlow had some good articles - I wouldn't necessarily agree with what he said 100% of the time but his opinion was still worth reading even with disagreements.
Nonetheless I think that Esperanto and Interlingua are both in a period of growth with the rise of the net etc, Mr. Threadgold is probably right saying that "Esperanto is far from moribund" simply because of that one fact let alone many others.
