Seen in Toronto: a pizza shop named after the Esperanto word for "pizza" [probably unintentionally though :( ]

yeah dawg you might be a little “lost in the [pizza] sauce” on this one :(

— that said, had no idea you were/are a fellow auxlang nerd; what are your thoughts on Ido?

also, hot take: markdown has the power to become the auxlang of formatting, & will fundamentally change our approach to emphasis in written form.

konsentis! 

for me, a strong foundation w Romance languages, starting w/the Cambridge Latin program in elementary school, Spanish til high school, intensive French while living in Canada (& a parent w a UofT French Lit masters lol) = very very good with cognates, but still feeble re overall fluency.

I think my ideal auxlang would be somewhere between lojban and toki pona; what I like about both of those is that the grammar is more principled and the vocab is more self-contained so it's more friendly to non-European speakers.

Toki pona has too few root words, lojban has too many words (esp cmavo)
