The point of language is neither simplicity nor efficiency.

you are not spokesman for the world. ❤️

I am not, and you are free to learn and speak Esperanto et al.

How about a compromise.

When we describe the overcoming of adversity, standing on a mountain top watching the sun set surrounded by the palpable love and acceptance of God, we don’t make efficiency of adjectives our primary goal.

But when we describe the assembly of water pump gears, we do. ❤️

I spent some time learning Esperanto, going to conferences, meeting people and reading books in Esperanto... I cannot recommmend it. It is fun and all but there are more important things to do.

probably depends on what someone considers important 🙂
