Zamenhof Day

Dr LL Zamenhof    
So today is Esperanto Day. Esperanto is a language that I once considered taking up in my pursuit of all things communicato ... but gave it up for assembler and the xBase dialects early on in my career.

Whereas Esperanto is a mechnism for people to communicate with each other, those languages I chose were high level mechanisms for communicating with machines.

Suffice it to say I likely will never be that social butterfly of which I always dreamed I'd become.

Esperanto is said to be the most widely spoken of what are known as "constructed international auxiliary languages. It was created ostensibly to foster peace and international understanding.

My personal views remain centric to the fact that I am an US citizen and if you want to communicate with me you better learn English or stay the heck out of my country. Hear that hispanics ?

L. L. Zamenhof was a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist. He created Esperanto in the late 19th century as an easy and flexible language that would serve as a universal second language .

Today is Zamenhof Day, aka Esperanto Day. It is celebrated each December 15th which is the birthdate of it's creater, the late Dr Zamenhof.
