@ekaitz_zarraga @piggo i can get behind that, i love spanish and its beautiful pronunciation, i just feel it's worse than english as a lingua franca, significantly more complex to express the same things, and english is not as simple as some people say, it's quite the inconsistent language which makes it hard.

Either way, i feel that if a country wants to promote this language, we have to review some of its rough corners.

@ekaitz_zarraga @piggo yeah i can see that, but as a native spanish speaker i feel entitled to criticize it.

@ekaitz_zarraga @piggo yeah, interestingly mexican spanish is slightly simpler than Castilian, the more people from different regions speak a language, the simpler the language gets.

Having that said... spanish is overkill and the only good spanish is the one that children speak.

@piggo @ekaitz_zarraga spoilers: you don't need it, it's overkill and a perfect example of when something is overengineered.

Objects having gender is among the worst decisions a language can choose, unfortunately a ton of languages took that path, German plus all the romance langauges... was that really necessary?

If esperanto teaches you something, is that simplicity and consistency is king.
