Les langues: un défi --- 3. Le handicap linguistique

[powerdriller10]

Piron was a man that could have been the Prophet for Esperanto. But he never had the leadership abilities, he was too much of a good and honest man to be a leader of masses. A leader requires some kind of sick passion and obsession for power.

There is other man, Mr.George Soros, a man who in his childhood was raised in Esperanto. But he is not exactly a leader of masses, he is a tycoon, his obsession is making business, not exactly for making money but for the pleasure gotten while making it.

Il faut souligner que Claude Piron etait un gran ecrivain en esperanto lui mem, avec un sens tres profond de la langue.

Notre ami Claude Piron a quitté ce monde, hier mardi 22 janvier 2008. Toute notre sympathie va à sa famille. Notre tristesse est grande, l'Espérantie est en deuil.

Tenerife 1967 air accident: "Clipper 173-6 - Report clear of the runway."

What the hell is that supposed to mean ?!

Why doesn't international aviation use Esperanto ?!

[ubuntuforever]

@DreamOfTurtles True, that is very confusing. You don't know if he means that the runway is clear or if he's asking to clear the runway. You can only assume by the context that he probably asked to clear the runway. I am thinking about learning esperanto as my third language. I am sure it will be much easier than French and English and will reduce the chance of being misunderstood.

Bravo encore une fois. Votre explication est toujours très claire. Merci.
