I meant is as more of a fun introductory piece. Oh, and I wasn’t doing a full-on mock of Esperanto (was I?). I meant is as more of a fun introductory piece.

Looks like you touched a nerve with your mocking of Esperanto! I just wanted to add that in the movie Gattaca (great movie, BTW), the loudspeaker announcements in the background were in Esperanto (or so I've heard).

My experience with Esperanto is that it is complete, harmonious and expressive, as much so as any other living language, with the added advantages of being several times easier to learn and being spoken by people around the world. I find it fun to speak and use it regularly. You should give it a try - http://en.lernu.net has lots of free learning resources, and http://www.kurso.com.br has a nice multimedia introductory course. About <b>Incubus</b>, I found Shatner's Esperanto pronunciation to be particularly atrocious, audibly influenced by his Montreal French. The other actors' pronunciations were mediocre to OK, but Shatner was the only one for whom I had to read the subtitles (at times) to figure out what he was saying. To my knowledge, none of the actors actually spoke Esperanto. Saluton! (Hi!) from another Esperanto speaker.

I really do think it's a very interesting language and idea. I wondered about the language use in the movie, though Shatner is always a little halting with his speech. How did the other actors do speaking it? Did any of them know Esperanto otherwise? Thank you for the Radio resource. I'll have to add that to a re-edit. It’s great to find Esperanto speakers.
