You're kidding, right?
The guy who invented Esperanto thought Esperanto was "dumb, baby shit"? Not likely.
Of the languages he was most familiar with, Spanish was not one of them. He was, however, familar with French:
- I hope
- j'espère

It doesn't have to be everyone. Just the person you want to talk to.
if only everyone spoke Esperanto!

Wow, yes. I remember this one. I think it was a big deal because it was in 3D - COLOR 3D even. Am I thinking of the right film.
It would be fun to find this and watch it - just for the nostalgia and to see what I actually do remember.

I was just discussing with some folks how easy it is (or isn't) to mix up Spanish and Esperanto when picking from a list of languages. I wonder if this is related.

Shinyboy! My spanish (Esperanto?) is even worse than marine life names so i’ll look it up.
I think we describe it as “Kwal”.
Pretty deep & nice colors! 👍🏼

It seems to me there is something in this chain of retweets (oops, I mean "quote tweets") worth reflecting on. Quote-posting to remind myself to do this.
This world's fantasy language just so happened to line up. Exactly with Esperanto, let's get learning to save the galaxy yall
I'll never be invested enough into a fantasy IP to learn its language. If you want to be cute and teach me a fantasy language teach me an actual language so that I improve my IRL skills.

If anybody witnesses the Duolingo Esperanto course being "incorrect", please post screenshots.
1 - I've found that people are too quick to say that something in Duolingo is incorrect.
2 - If it is incorrect, I'd love to be able to tell my students.
3 - I want to see Duolingo fail.

Goddamn has Duolingo gown downhill since their AI (and other) fiascoes. The Esperanto course is now incredibly repetitive, frequently incorrect, and often rejects an answer only to show exactly what was entered as the correct answer (a bug they've always had). Owl shit.

So many posts on BlueSky that mention Esperanto are jokes of the format:
1 - Say ordinary thing
2 - Add the word Esperanto or change one word to Esperanto
3 - ?????

Esperanto might not help what? While I hesitate to call Esperanto a "conlang", nearly all its vocabulary can be traced to other languages, so I find that it helps quite a bit.

Oh that William Shatner. This is a GREAT line.
Not at all true, but this is really creative humor.

ESPERANTO QUESTION!
Last week I saw William Shatner at a stage presentation (very spry for 93!). In one story he said he butchered the pronunciation of Esperanto in the film Incubus, but since it was one of the more visible works in that language his errors ended up heavily adopted. True or BS?

If it's any consolation (dear @apcbapcb.bsky.social or anybody reading along), I will never act like you're speaking Esperanto ... erm ... unless you were actually speaking Esperanto.
Mention this to the median Evanston boomer and they'll act like you're speaking Esperanto about events on another planet .

As someone who has used Esperanto daily for decades, I never cease to be amazed by comments like this. At the same time, it's clear that this is a very natural reaction to Esperanto.

I'm happy to see the comment. Maybe so many people speak English that Esperanto will never be necessary, but then French used to be the universal language (some French people still think it is.)

Clearly this is meant as a joke, but given the number of white people who speak Esperanto, couldn't you have come up with something a little more clever for the first bit.

Lammy - I wonder if you'd clarify what you mean by "good" here. It seems to me that if a person is constructing a personal language, they should follow their interest. If their interest includes scripts, they should follow that. If not, then there's no "good" in doing something that doesn't.

So we have Bovino, whose name means cow, Rubio/Rubujo whose name means garbage can (or "shithole country") - but what can we say about Mike Johnson other than it's a special kind of penis that you can talk into?

As it turned out, wearing sweat pants was a mistake. It was nice to start out, but they're virtually impossible to remove on the road and so by the time I got to work I'd shed everything but a long-sleeve T-shirt on top and I was still too warm.
Temps were much more mild for the ride home.

It's -1C outside and I have to bike to work again. I'm dreading the cold, but at the same time I'm re-assured that every morning so far that I've dreaded the cold I ended up too hot by the time I got to work.
The source of my current dread is I don't know which feeling will be the right one today.

Fun fact: when border patrol ghoul Greg Bovino was a child, his father changed their family name to escape consequences for being a racist piece of shit. They chose the name Bovino, Esperanto for "cow", out of kinship for these huge, brainless, easily-led animals
