Did Don Harlow coin that term?  Well you learn something new every day.

For the record, i accept but grudgingly the term 'euroclone', as i take it
to be pejorative towards languages like Ido and Novial that i actually
happen to like.  Thats why i use the term 'eurolanguage' in the same sense,
but without the pejorative overtones.

Interestingly, since Esperanto is also a euroclone, Don would seem to be
disparaging his own prefered language with his term.

PS. I am going, really...
