Oops. Sorry, sometimes I express myself in a more
provocative way than I actually intend to.
I have nothing in particular against international
auxlangs, although I don't believe very much in the
idea, but I really admire those who did such an effort
to create and advocate them. What I wanted to say
about Esperanto, is that it does not meet my own
personal taste for languages. This is a feeling that I
have with most Romance-based auxlangs, in the case of
Ido or Interlingua even worse.
Volapük is, in my opinion, a nice exception; not a
beautiful language, but definitely a funny one.
It was not my intention to insult anybody; I apologize
if I did.
