What if everyone started to learn English...   Wouldn't that be a better
option than Esperanto?  I guess that it is maybe me being a Belgian
citizen that already has to learn 4 languages to come around in my own
country that I can take these things so easily...  What if I spoke
esperanto now...  WOuld you understand me?  I guess not, so why not
stick to the 'good old english'...  Then everybody understands
oneantoher...
