It's the difference between being in favour of establishment and being opposed to those who are opposed to those who favour establishment.

enemy->enemy->friend != friend

And "antidisestablishmentarianism" just rolls off the tongue so nicely.

102 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-05-27 12:02 ID:Heaven

>>101

"At 45 letters, it is certainly the longest word ever to appear in a non-technical dictionary of English, the Oxford English Dictionary. However there are strong indications that the word was coined by puzzler Everett Smith in 1935 as a hypothetical long word that could result from the protraction of medical terms. The actual name of the disease is pneumoconiosis, which is 14 letters long."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English#Popular_usage

Floccinaucinihilipilification is the longest "official" word in the English language, even longer than Antidisestablishmentarianism, but is longer really better and is English really best?

I'll ignore your (non-)seriousness level and counter-argue for a bit. I think it would work quite well and be quite nice, actually. Esperanto isn't anything like a "crazy moon language" or anything. Rather, it appears to be a hybrid of latin/germanic/slavic languages, making anyone who speaks it a much better learner of many European languages than a random person.

Also, someone who has parents willing to teach them Esperanto as first language will very probably be in an environment that's very good for learning languages anyway.

There are probably thousands of "natural languages" with very few remaining speakers which it "sucks" way more to be born into - Wikipedia gives estimates of first/seconds language speakers as 1000/100 000, and those people will certainly stay in touch quite well.

> it appears to be a hybrid of latin/germanic/slavic languages

Yeah, right. I can read Spanish (mother tongue) and Portuguese; I can understand a good deal of Italian and French; I'd know the roots of many Romanian words; and as you can see, I've learnt English too. I took a look at dEsperanto, and I couldn't get 1% of that. It's just bullshit. Making a language that resembles both English and Spanish, 2nd and 3rd most used languages, is hard enough, nevermind how stupid the idea of inventing new languages is, but trying to make a language that's a mix of English, Spanish, German, and whatever my father sings when taking a shower results in bizarre, gibberish babbling. What do you get from mixing red, green and blue? Gray, and it's nothing like red, nothing like green, and nothing like blue, thus foreign to 50% more colors than it would be if you just took one of red, green, or blue.

Languages were invented and standarized to understand each other. Making languages others don't know defeats their purpose. Get over it.
