In a world full of butts , be the brains . <| sep |> What you ' re saying has virtually no content . It ' s criticism without substance . It means nothing other than I don ' t like your idea love it or leave it . No , it means you either lack reading comprehension skills or you are being deliberately obtuse . What are are suggesting does not work . No widespread created language can function that way . Only natural languages have that capability because they don ' t have a preexisting grammar , but rather loose usages that imply or converge on a grammar . And those natural languages are only popular because they were spread by the sword . If you want a peaceable , noncoercive spread of a language , Esperanto is the closest ever attempted . Yet it too benefited from European imperialism . The reason not to speak Esperanto would be to get away from the sectarian mentality you are so brilliantly illustrating right now . Again , you lack reading comprehension or you are ignoring facts that contradict your opinion . An artificial language must always have a baseline or it will not spread . People need consistency and predictability , especially for the early adopters of the language . What you are suggesting is some sort of diasporic pidgin . This of course will fragment into thousands of incompatible dialects , unless first spread and enforced by mass media . This would just be another imperialism . The reason not to speak English would be its irregularity , difficulty , lack of neutrality , and role in colonialism . Then learn the languages of the oppressed rather than wasting your time on imperfect artificial languages .
