what? not esperanto?

[NorthMountain]

Have you ever met anyone who actually knows esperanto?

Oddly enough, I have.

One.

And he was fairly odd.

I never found out if he had any fellow esperantos with whom to speak it.

Thanks for reminding me about Esperanto. I have to watch a DVD I recently bought used from Amazon. It is Incubus, a 1960s horror movie starring William Shatner with all the dialog in Esperanto. How can anyone resist that for five dollars?

Dankon por memorigi min pri Esperanto. Mi devas spekti DVD mi aĉetis ĵus uzitaj de Amazon. Estas Inkubo, kun 1960 hororo filmo ĉefrolita William Shatner kun ĉiuj dialogo en Esperanto. Kiel vi povas paroli rezisti ke por kvin dolaroj?

(I have no idea what I just said. I let Google translate it for me.)

A little more seriously, any spelling reform to make spelling match pronunciation would slaughter grammar rules for plurals and past tense. Now you generally add -s for plural and -ed for past tense, but there are many pronunciations for each which would result in many different spellings so you would have kats and dogz for pets.
