Esperanto

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

July 26th will mark the 123rd anniversery of the original publication of Dr. Zamenhof's universal philisophical language Esperanto. Not necessarily the most notable of anniverseries, but I find the connection between the logical order of 1-2-3 and the free form artistry of the language to be too ironic to pass up. So, you're just going to have put up with me being extra irritating for a little while whilst I celebrate. Apologies in advance.

I shall only respond with:

"Mi estos pren la koro," revenig la la Ujon Ŭoods viro; "por cerboj ne far unu feliĉa, kaj feliĉo estas la plej bona afero en la mondo."

Translation: "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world."

William Shatner did that movie Incubus entirely in Esperanto. It's all over Youtube.

"Keith, it's like you're speaking in esperanto, or some language twins teach each other. The King's English, man!"

Admirable intention. Horrible execution. Movie ain't bad though.

EDIT: In his defense, Shatner kept working on his pronunciation after filiming Incubus and did manage to improve his speech, and can handle the language like a pro these days.
