No mi, e restan la demanco cu la mondo pretan por ia ayn planlengo.
Ce tre granda parto de lo estan pli preta por "naturalisma" ol por
neutrale apriora lengo, mi ne duban - qancam la relativa sucseso de
Esperanto contraste al tia de Occidental, Interlingua etp eble indican
ce pura naturalismo ne estan tiome grava ciome ias povun pensi.

Neither do I, and there remains the question whether the world is ready
for any planned international language whatever. I don't doubt that a
large part of it is more ready for a naturalistic than for a neutrally
a priori language - though the relative success of Esperanto contrasted
to that of Occidental, Interlingua etc. may indicate that pure naturalism
may not be as important as some might think.

Les havan anglengo, la evidentega candidato por ancore plia universaliso.
Mi ne favoran al tia lengo por internasia uso, sed oni devan priconsivi
e agnosci loa eminenta potenso.

They have English, the outstandingly evident candidate for yet further
universalization. I don't favor that language for international use, but
one must be aware of and acknowledge its eminent power.

What don't you like about Occidental, Interlingua, etc.?
