| Oct 3, 2016 at 6:19 | comment | added | Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven | I think we should distinguish prejudices and misinformation about Esperanto. It seems to me there are different causes. - To spread misinformation is near to a lie. Usually scientists and journalists don't want to lie. No one wants to be publicly accused to spread errors or lies. - To spread an opinion about Esperanto (you call it prejudice, but they would just call it their opinion) is something quite different. This is ok, everyone is entitled to have an opinion. I think you should divide your question in two. | |

| Sep 29, 2016 at 13:08 | comment | added | Neil Roberts | @SantiBailors Thanks for your comments and welcome to the site. I personally find that Esperanto pops up everywhere! Maybe if you don’t know what it sounds like and you aren’t thinking about it then it would just pass by unnoticed. Hopefully this site can go some way to help spread the word. Of course there are other sources too, just take a look at the 540,000 learners on Duolingo! | |
| Sep 29, 2016 at 12:05 | comment | added | SantiBailors | ... {continued} If Esperanto does have a culture and people do speak it, that's really great, a lot of average Joes / Janes would be glad to find that out and my recommendation would be that the Esperanto community make efforts to make those facts known also to the many who might rejoice the news but aren't into the subject enough to do active investigation. That's very feasible and there would be basically nobody who would feel the desire to maliciously counter such information. | |
| Sep 29, 2016 at 12:05 | comment | added | SantiBailors | Although I love the idea of Esperanto and I'm truly sad (but not surprised) that it wasn't adopted, I know "absolutely nothing about the language" and I do have the last two of the three misconceptions you listed (which BTW from now on I doubt), so I might be in a good position to answer why people like me have those misconceptions: because those are the most likely answers that come out of observation alone. In about 50 years I never heard one single person speaking Esperanto anywhere at all including media. That's because I never researched the subject. If Esperanto ... {continued} | |

| Sep 29, 2016 at 9:03 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | Of course there's more Klingon speakers than Esperanto speakers - Esperanto was a fictional language created for Red Dwarf, and there's more Trekkies than Smegheads! :) | |
| Sep 29, 2016 at 8:49 | comment | added | Aviadisto | The reason for this question was an actual problem blog.stackoverflow.com/2016/09/… disputed here. Such problems are coming again and again, I saw them for so many times. I don't see any offense in my question nor it is my intention to offend somebody. | |
