Nice parodi, but besides the (huge) costs of switching, Esperanto (with an Ascii character set rather than the the current (Polish?) letters) would properly be better by far than English.

At least we would have no more grammar fights - the entirety of Esperanto grammar is significantly shorter than the linked article.

And don't worry, you would still have Wikipedia [http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/].

As for Klingon, well I guess that remains a pipedream.



Good luck with the whole poetry thing in a language with no ambiguity to it.


I'm pretty sure I've seen poetry in Lojban which is specifically design for lack of ambiguity. YMMV, but it's possible to have poetry without ambiguity in my opinion.


As a matter of fact, there is a lot of poetry in Esperanto. "but no grammar fights" --- not so; a lot of grammar fights as well :P
