So Esperanto is back according to Nicole Else (Letters, August 13), and has the potential to transform international communication for ever. While I’m not totally opposed to the idea, especially the free accommodation and the abolition of those pesky (albeit much loved) irregular verbs, I fear that it’s simply another attempt by humans to control the uncontrollable – language.
