Salivante ha scribite:

"Un inseniante debe esser credibile.  Un curso
con anglicismos evidente, es minus credibile.  Un
lector (como io) va trovar le expression "omne le"
(como "Illa dice gratias a ille pro OMNE LE adjuta")
e supponer que anque isto es solmente ancora un
anglicismo.  La lector va faller appreder le
structuro ipse, que le curso pretende a inseniar."

Look, Interlingua is not a completely unified
language.  It is, as Robert Anderson Hall noted in
"Linguistics and Your Language," a "pick and choose
affair."

As I noted before, when I use Interlingua, I pick and
choose.  When others use Interlingua, they pick and
choose.  Now I don't care at all about how other
people pick and choose.  Caring about such things is
utterly futile!  And anyone else is welcome to revise
my texts to reflect their own picks and choices.

Examples of picks and choices in Interlingua:

Iste/aqueste libros.

Io ha scribite/scripte

Omne/tote le libros

Unes/alique libros

Mox/tosto

Sovente/frequente

Assatis/bastante

Incredibly useless and utterly wasteful debates have
been held in this and in Coollist to determine which
of these forms is "echt" interlingua.

(Really, there is no "echt" form of any language.  All
of them are in a state of flux, which is sometimes
very rapid, as when Afrikaans emerged from Dutch,
sometimes very slow, as is the case with contemporary
Icelandic.)

Some feel that we should stick strictly to what is
found in Gode's dictionary and grammar.  I feel that
this quite simply cripples the evolution of
interlingua as a living language, and that Gode's
works should be used as a point of departure, not as a
Procrustean bed that leads to interminable and
completely useless debates that inhibit the fluent use
of Interlingua.
