Given that international auxiliary languages allow for more efficient cooperation; I think more people should consider using an easily learnable IAL, like Esperanto.

IALs would reduce the English dominance that gate-keeps software development to English persons; and hence allow more potential software developers to better develop software. The English language is mostly dominant in software development because of linguistic imperialism.

    I did. Why do you think I quoted your text?

    You quoted text that said the exact opposite of what you then argued against. Read for comprehension this time.

      Where did I do this? I don’t see what you’re talking about.

        It’s rather obvious you don’t see what I’m talking about. Even when you QUOTE IT.

        English, to take a horrifically terrible language at random, is not much harder to learn for, say, a Chinese speaker

        That is a sweeping generalization you made. How would Esperanto be harder for a Chinese person than English?

        See that there, Sparky? That’s you claiming I said the precise opposite of what I said.

        (Note, also, that I very clearly called English a “horrifically terrible language” yet the rest of your response to that was acting as if I said English were a good language. Another sign of not reading for comprehension, but rather reading to find some excuse to react even if you have to make up that excuse.)

        So go back and re-read everything … EVERYTHING … I said for comprehension before you waste any more of my time. I’m tired of intellectually dishonest Esperantists.

          Uh, how is that the opposite of what I said? Oh. I see. Yeah that was idiotic. However, don’t be so damn rude to me for making a mistake; because that dis-motivates me from trying to learn from a mistake.

          Still, by complexity, English would take longer to learn than Esperanto.

          (Also, what’s a Sparky?)

          (Note, also, that I very clearly called English a “horrifically terrible language” yet the rest of your response to that was acting as if I said English were a good language.

          All I said was:

          How are declensions by X idiotic? Also by what? You didn’t complete the list.

          Is English declension idiotic too?

          I didn’t say anything about the English language being bad. How could that be implied to say that English is a bad language?
