@HighlandLawyer @VoxDei @cstross @Menhit @feorag that's one of the reasons why I stopped learning some stuff at work. they would have put me into a team with other people who knew that stuff.

it happened to me before. now I check better what trainings I actually do.

@HighlandLawyer @VoxDei @cstross @Menhit @feorag Having an optimized language sounds nice until you realize that honestly the little imperfections and ambiguities add soul. Lojban is lowkey soulless.

I'm not even talking about the Sisyphean task of getting an IAL actually adopted. That's why i think English is the one most likely to become the "Human Language". Sure, Mandarin has more speakers but they're all in China. English is almost everywhere. That's a huge asset for language spread.
