Sure. Our modern language serves our modern needs. We actively change it to serve our needs, and that's the whole point behind my opinion of why esperanto is a failure as a general language: it is imposed upon us. And there's no nation of Esperantus where one can go and meet hot Esperanta women, hence no incentive to learn the language.

You have hit the nail right on the head. However, there probably will be Esperanto gambling and porno web sites in our near future. It's the Esperantistas' only hope to escape linguistic oblivion

"Esperanto" sung to the tune of "Desperado". Written in Esperanto, of course, and performed by las agloj.

My bad. I searched a bit to see if the article reflected the plural, but then I just gave up and guessed. Oops.

"Esperanto" sung to the tune of "Desperado". There's always "Esperanto sung to the tune of "Esperanza": Esperanza

Esperanto is a plastic flower compared to the living bouquet comprised of our many varied and interconnected languages. Your opinion on Esperanto is based on impressions, not on facts. It's surprising indeed that it is still growing as fast as any other "natural" language. It started with about 900 words and has now over 15000 with the capacity to build 10 times more colourful ones. About the interconnection of languages, have a look at http://remush.be/etimo/etimo.htmlThere is a lot to say about the rapid grow of the language and the rules that must be obeyed to create new terms for new needs. Don't forget that we are a multinational community that cares about the cohesion of the language. Nobody forces you to learn Esperanto if you don't like it. It will remain quite viable without you. No worry. Remuŝ

Wow--Remus, you're the first-ever person on here from Belgium, or at least the first who identified himself as such. Welcome!
