        Because it’s a W language meant to foster international communication and understanding.

            W, like winner. It’s internet slang. It’s a winning language.

      Nah, they’d learn Toki Pona, because it’s an amazing interlanguage.

      Esperanton estas bona lingvo. Ĉu vi parolas Esperanton?

        Jes. Mi lernis paroli Esperanton antaŭ kelkaj jaroj. Estas amuze, sed neniu parolas ĝin.

      I’m no anti capitalist, but I also learned Esperanto a few years ago. But nobody really speaks it, so I switched to learning something a bit more practical (SO’s native language so I’m less helpless when we visit their country).

        That’s not exactly true, that nobody speaks it. There are a couple of hindrances to speaking it, basically finding the people willing to be occupying that niche and then those who actually want to learn and speak it to a high degree.
