Not a native English speaker, but I automatically read it is hot Reagan. You could've told them you just had the hotties for ol' Ronnie.
Your guess is just as valid as mine.
What a twat.
The predetermined universe smiles when the book's fate is being fulfilled.
Yes, one of the oldest tricks in the book is in use. Unfortunately it still seems to work.
Agreed. I think it could've been solved better. Although excessive use of -igi/-iĝi can make the language sound duller, so I guess it's just what it is and that's it at this point.
IMO, Esperanto could be used at schools as a "gateway language" to language learning in general. It's simple and as logical as can be in grammar and syntax. The vocabulary stems mostly from Latin based languages so learning the most common root words help students build up their vortarojn for other languages as well.
That sort of utilitarian approach to E-o, instead of the more traditional, ideological approach could bring it more popularity. But I'm no teacher so this is likely not happening.
Yes, it's not flawless. My personal pet peeve is that there's no clear way to know if a verb is transitive or intransitive. Despite the shortcomings, it's a fun and rewarding language to learn.
Nice touch including esperanto.

The downvotes just prove your point.
Prescilla
It's Priscilla, but well played nevertheless.
Not sure there is a joke in there. For some reason the question kind of surprises you and you have to quickly decide on the spot whether to have the receipt or not. So you end up winging it, sometimes having it, sometimes not.
Nowadays, I mostly decline but on occasion still end up agreeing, so I can relate.
