LOL!!! :lol: Wouldn't we all look better dead?
Well the planet would start looking better that's for sure!
I don't think you would though...I think you are one of those people...
You know, those people...that look great without being dead.
Other people are jealous of those people! Beware!

Children of Bodom playing a live concert!
Then some random guy goes up on stage and tries to swing a guitar at the lead singer.
LOL! That must have been a kick ass concert...I used to listen to them all the time. What albums did they mostly play up there?Quote:

Esperanto speakers: Over 2 million.
Interlingua > Esperanto, and you know it.
You know what, I don't even need to teach you Interlingua, if you already know a Romance language. You'll understand it all promptly.
PS: PWNED.
So people who don't know a Romance language can't speak Interlingua? That's harsh.Quote:

Thus, Esperanto is more flexible than Interlingua could ever be.
People want an easy language; that's what Zamenhof gave them.
Lol, you definitely don't know what Interlingua is.
Interlingua is meant to be undestandable by anone who speaks a romance language. Words in Interlingua are selected from common cognates in the various romance languages. It is not some failed attempt at creating a language, it's made up for simplicity and similarity.
In fact, in was found that students of Interlingua could translate a Spanish text that students of Spanish with more than 150 hours found too hard to translate. If you don't already speak a romance language, learning Interlingua can help you in learning one.
Don't say Interlingua isn't flexible if you don't know how it works, man :P It's as flexible as the English you use.
People want an easy Language. They need zero prior study for understanding Interlingua. That's something Esperanto never dreamt of achieving.
Ice cream!
I love how you copy the format of my post and change everything round. :P
I do; it's a language. Does I winz a cookee?Quote:

Esperanto appears in more places than you think. The Pope reads the Urbi et Orbi blessing in Esperanto. There is also a university in San Marino, the Akademio Internacia de la Sciencoj, that delivers all of its lectures in Esperanto and promotes the absence of any linguistic bias in its scientific content and its teaching methods.
Interlingua's still got a long way to go. Vivu Esperanto. ;)

No it is not meant to be promptly understandable. It requires prior study. Bad bad Neko.Quote:

No idea what Volapük is. It sounds like some Linux program xDQuote:

Lol. Funny, but not an argument.Quote:

Any language does that. It's only because you have never tried learning any other language that you assume only Esperanto does it.Quote:

It's as flexible as the latin-derived languages, combined.Quote:

Pick a text in Interlingua. You'll see what is logical.Quote:

Not songs, nor films. But Interlingua has been used by the scientific community numerous times, having many articles been released in it.Quote:

Oh wait... *looks around* Nah, can't find any presence of Esperanto. You can't say it is unbiased either. To cite one thing, it uses western writing system. Any language is biased.Quote:
