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.

      Sparky, here’s a tip: read what I actually wrote instead of whatever words were flowing through your brain from the voices. Then come back and actually address what I actually said. It’s amazing how much you wrote in response to material you understood so little of.

          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.

              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.
