Then, fix it! Unfortunately, you (and I) arrived too late to join several people from auxlang in a deliberate attempt to reform Novial ... Some of of their results are at: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~dpb/novial/ http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/3141/novial.html I would like to see another try at this. Otto Jesperson was the most respected linguist of his time, and headed Ido for a while. His understanding of English was unsurpassed ... funny, that foreigners like Joseph Conrad and Vladimir Nabokov can so master English. Just musing; they could probably have mastered anything from Tibetan to Hausa too.
