Calling Esperanto everyone's favorite is a bit far fetched

MODERATORS
Everyone likes the idea of Esperanto but nobody can be fucked with learning a language nobody else presently uses.
Especially since we English have somehow managed to blunder and bludgeon our language so widely across the world that it's just accepted as a default.
I was just going to say I love the idea of learning Esperanto but why and where would I ever learn it.
I learned a bit, but in the end i found interlingua much more interesting. If you learn interlingua you can speak to native speakers of all the Latin derived languages at a basic level at least.
Sounds much more useful than a language that no one speaks
everyone knows the favourite one is toki pona

Everyone knows the best conlang is klingonese.
And if you disagree you are a petaQ.
Interlingua is kind of nice.
I like it better than Esperanto

Any century now Esperanto will finally be perfect.
