It's on your website, right?

Ah, is this the same story as "Jezus in India"? I've heard about it.

Backward?!! I can see that you never went for a ride in one of our lovely
little zeppelins (which are among the best in the world), nor did you ever
enjoy the comfort and the luxury of our exclusive zeppelimos! No, you would
never have called us "backward" if you had ever hugged a real Venedic
teddybear. Who's backward here? Isn't Dûnein the poorest region in Europe (all
the more shocking if you take into account that it is part of a rich country)?

No, unlike yours, our newspapers only write about IMPORTANT stuff. But now that
you mention it: I think I have heard the word "nono", once.

Congratulations with your second speaker, then! I'm impressed! Continue like
that, and you might even reach the status of VOS after approx. three million
years.

Turzyna mrzoda! You just don't have any arguments, that's all.

If you'll ever meet a Vened who would do that, he has probably spent too much
time in Kemr, where we all know such things are common practice.

He ought not to have any money at all, the lazy bastard! OTOH, the fact that
the FK spent so much money on bribing him only proves how powerful the
Venedikanto Omniversala Supernova movement was!

If VOS would share even one feature with Neokernono, that's only because our
language was over-perfect for a while. Therefore, we might have adopted some
inferior foreign garbage to make it *simply perfect*. Balance, you see?

> You might as well come join the Real Thing!
And spend the rest of our lives on an isolated small island longing for some
civilisation? Thank you politely. You are, however, always welcome to cross
that sea of yours and visit the real world. I guarantee you that you will soon
discover how futile your auxlang efforts have been, notwithstanding some
potential good intentions. We can always use creative minds, and the "Unlearn
Neokernopanto Nova in Three Days" Course will be free of charge.

Our Fundamento is a reflection of universal truth. _Your_ Fundamento, as you
observed correctly for a change, is nothing but 'a word-for-word
"translation"'!

Of course, we offer all kinds of help and assistance to our devotees.

Well, for a Neokernopantonononisto anything would be mindnumbingly difficult,
even a simple calculation like 1 + 1 = 2!

True, it would be a complete waste of paper! And nobody would care to read it
anyway!

And throw it away even more easily! :D~~~

Well, the fact that the average Kernopanto speaker cannot produce even a simple
sentence is rather a matter of IQ, I'm afraid. What can you expect of someone
who can't even express himself in his own language?

> > Just look: no articles, can you believe that?!

Pity! A language without articles is a language without a future!

I admit, that is a neat feature. Pity that you evidently stole it from
Proto-Intervenedial.

What?! Are you really wasting precious bookbinding material to cover those

Well, perhaps in some crazy alternate timeline, that you are of course free to
fantasise about. However, in real IB life there is only one future, and that
future is speaking VOS! All other aux- and natlangs, including E-o, I-a, N-oN-a
and E-sh, are moribund.

Hey, what woud you expect, eh? It wasn't a fair game at all. First of all, it
is always raining over there, and our players are used to playing on grass, not
in a swimming pool! The poor guys didn't stand a chance from the beginning,
especially because the arbiter was blackmailed by the chairperson of FC
Castreleon and his wife.

Already been there. After nine seconds the doctor wanted to learn VOS. Five
minutes later, he was already quite fluent in it, and after five more minutes,
he was ready to dedicate his life to promoting it.

Learn N-o Nova quickly? Good heavens, one would need at least twenty years to
understand the *basics* of Neokernopanto's mutation system. Not even to mention
all those horrible vowel clusters and consonant ditos.

That's no way to address the Language of Languages!

Any tactics to save the world from N-o N-a are ethical by definition!

Accusations!? I just repeated word for word what you wrote yourself in a scarce

By far inferior to VOS, but better at least than N-o N-a.

Well, browsing the Auxlang archives I get the impression that some of them are
actually quite nice people... Although the taboo on Hitler comparisons seems to
be broken there much more frequently than here.
