My last remarks at the end of the tail

Dear Everybody,

I think the difficulty of the English is not because = of something like the use of personal pronouns, the word order, the use of = word class endings (-al, -ly, -e, -ic, -ing, -ion, -ism, -ity, -ist, -ness,= -less, -ment and so) and so. It’s difficulty rise from it’s irregular ch= aracter: from the multi-meaning of the words, from the non-logic expresses = (‘slow down’ is a logic, but ‘put sy up’ is not, like “to mother”), irregul= ar endings, and in a great measure from it’s pronunciation. Of course, feat= ures like these, that make a language difficult to be learnt are common thi= ngs for all ethnic languages.

But I would be very content if someone wou= ld make from the English a language that would be phonetic and would have r= egular endings, regular verbs, one-meaning words, and logic expressions (na= turally, it no longer would be the old English :-) ).

When I found the= Glosa I was very happy and hopeful. But then I discovered that it is not w= hat I was searching. I found an another “extreme language”. And I don’t lik= e the extremes. This is my own problem. The Glosa in this present unchanged= form is not cut out for me. Sure, it is a matter of personal taste.

By = all means I ought to thank “plu” you for wasting your time to answer to my = questions, and for the possibility of exchanging ideas.

To diligence on = creating an easy to be learnt planned language for the humanity is a laudab= le activity that is worthy to be appreciated independent of it’s present re= sults.

I wish “plu” you successful development on the Glosa in what follow= s, and plenty of health!

Bye, Laslo
