started from the bottom now we here (still at the bottom)

kia was chill when we played, should give him a shot

Ngl that alone seems kinda crazy lol.

Very cool site, seemed like a ton of work.

Honestly totally forgot that there was a Smissmas update lol. I will not be at my PC for a little bit but can probably update in a week.

God I hope the typo here is that the January 25th part is wrong and not the Saturday part.

But yeah releasing the article the same day as the scheduling deadline is seriously ridiculous with no prior warning.

don't forget that that the alt was named "harbleu HIV positive"

I think I wasn't clear, I meant moreso that you can't really use (functional) illiteracy rates of Esperanto as evidence of the ease of the language because of confounding factors. Also, practically speaking, if you define functional illiteracy as when an individual lacks the literacy level to interact with their immediate environment Esperanto is practically automatically exempt given its nature (given that Esperanto is usually learned because it serves as a bridge for ppl across the world, how many places in the world do you truly rely on it as your sole means of communication/interaction). The confounding is in the form of socioeconomic status, as was mentioned that drives functional illiteracy and I'd be very surprised if most people who have the desire or time to learn a conlang are at least well off "enough". Previous point more or less applies to all conlangs, although I doubt anybody is teaching Klingon to poor kids.

I agree that Esperanto on its own merits is very "easy" or "simple".

I have not really read the rest of this thread (given its length) but I would like to comment that I would be very very surprised if this wasn't largely or entirey driven by selection bias/confounding.

Also would like to comment that if you can prove or show evidence that simplicity/consistency/regularity of syntactic structure of a particular language leads to differences in processing speed compared to a language that is more "complex" (in the sense of syntactic structure, irregularities in morphology/conjugation that type of stuff, ambiguities in semantics), to quote my undergrad advisor, "I will give you a PhD". To my knowledge that is not a settled point. Not sure if there will ever be a study on that tbh, seems extremely difficult to set up that sort of experiment in a good way (want native bilingual speakers of a "simple" and "complex" language, doubt there's that many of those out there and linguistics depts are struggling for funding as is). If only "wild child" experiments weren't looked down by IRB, would love to see if my woodland child could flex esperanto twice as fast as english.

Absolutely unhinged subplot, a+ writing.

not cutting the sticker is crazy lmao

撒娇 (sa jiao) in chinese, typically refers to adult women acting spoiled/throwing tantrums (typically in public) at their partner. It's more so used to look "cute" and not really manipulative in nature.

Although maybe this is cheating since it's more of a reflection of differences in social norms.

bless jeebs
