a funny thing pertaining to Esperanto

[horn_concerto]

I have no idea what that says/means, but I wanted to let you know that you can change the language preferences in Google so that they are in Esperanto (along with a whole host of other things).

I had no idea that you still read my blog, though I am happy that you do!

Does that say:
An intelligent person learns the Esperanto language rapidly and easily. Esperanto is the modern, cultural language for the whole world. Simple, flexible, beautiful, it is the practical solution of the problem of universal inter-communication. Esperanto merits serious consideration. Learn the international language Esperanto.

I love that it's easy to read if you know Latin, know the general flavor of a Slavic language (which, actually, barely shows through), and a little bit about how modern Romance languages work (like with 'la, de, estas,' etc.). :) Esperanto is cool!

Esperanto is shockingly and awesomely cool!

[luthien_amandil]

also easy if you know spanish, or apparently a tiny little bit of spanish because that's all i know, and i understood it.

.....I thought ELNA was a sewing machine. :P

It is the Esperanto League of North America.

whee i got all of that :)
i guess i should go learn it now

[socraticmachine]

There is no question that you should learn Esperanto. Reading it is still a joy... :)

[masterherdir]

I got all of it =P LOL

mangiami, you got all of it except belsona means "beautiful sounding," not just "beautiful." And Esperanto doesn't just merit consideration, it merits your consideration. ;-)

"Inteligenta persono lernas la lingvon Esperanto rapide kaj facile"

Ja, estas la vero, sed eĉ inteligentulo ne regnas la lingvon rapide aŭ facile, mi opinias. =P La gramatiko ne estas tiel simpla kaj regula kiel ili diras ...

[socraticmachine]

Versxajne tre intelegenta persono estas vi.

btw, that was in response to "I got all of it" not your final comments. I agree with them very much though. While it is easy to learn to read Eo, composition or conversation is not nearly so simple...
