I didn’t say that I agreed with them… You’re kinda being a dick dude, why? All I said was that just because English is popular, doesn’t mean it’s an inherently “good” language, whatever that means. There are external factors that, I think, have more to do with its popularity than its inherent and independent usability as a tool.
At first I just wanted to know if you didn’t think that that was the case? But it doesn’t seem like you actually want to converse and instead want an argument to win, so honestly I’m not really interested in what you have to say, now. Thanks for unmasking!
I’m not the OP, I’m just asking you a genuine question dude. Why are you so friggin hot.
Oh, youre a random interjecting. Sorry I don’t pay attention to usernames when the content seems similar from the quality and content.
Yeah Skullgrid makes the argument. By his criteria Toki Pona is better than English.
I’m just asking why he would say such a ridiculous thing.
Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t realise that how “good” a language is isn’t anything as simple as “structure and simplicity”.
Perhaps you agree with him and would like to explain why you do?

And I never said what you think I did.
I’m merely pointing out his definition of what a language needs to be “successful” is insanely reductive.
With his argument, Toki Pona is better than English.
I haven’t claimed anything about English. I’m asking him (or you) about the argument already made.
