I've been to the courses 12 summers.  Each year is different, becauseu
of the professors and students.  They offer 5 levels of
classes.  It is a great place to learn/improve
your Esperanto ability.  It is also a great place for fun with other
esperantists.  The San Francisco area is a great place to visit, too.

Kontaktu la supran adreson por informoj pri la Esperanto-kursaro en
San Francisco.  Mi vizitis gxin 12-foje.  Oni prezentas 5 kursojn/

Pardonu mian intervenon.  Laux mi, vi tute pravas.  Ja, cxi tiu grupo
nomigxas SOC.CULTURE.esperanto, kaj ne SCI.LANG.esperanto, kie la PRIoj
devus esti diskutitaj, se tiu grupo ekzistus!  Kiam la tempo alvenos por
vere disdividi s.c.e al la du supre menciitaj grupoj?  Cxu ni dauxre
legu ardajn diskutojn en s.c.e PRI cxiaj eblaj reformoj, anstataux pli
interesaj diskutoj EN esperanto.

You are absolutely correct.  This group is really called
SOC.CULTURE.esperanto, and not SCI.LANG.esperanto, where the ABOUTs
should be discussed, if such a group would exist!  When will the time
come when one can really divide s.c.e to the two groups above mentioned?
Do we have to keep on reading flaming discussions in s.c.e ABOUT every
thinkable reform, instead of having more interesting discussions IN
esperanto.

Here is an address from a person involved in ISO 6937 ("a coded graphic
character set for the communication of texts using the latin alphabet")
which also contains Esperanto, as far as I know. He is J.M. van Wingen
<butpaa@hlerul2.bitnet>.  Somewhere in the documents is the code
"ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC2 N", which looks a lot like the committee Olle
mentioned to Neal. However, the documents I have are two years old.
Maybe someone with more authority in standardisation than myself can
write to Johan van Wingen about ISO 8859-3. I will write to him also.

Mi proponas ke iu (cxu vi, Neal?) retposxtu al UEA kun klarigo de la
problemo, kaj la peto skribi oficialan leteron.

Btw., when programming for example in Turbo Pascal 6.0, is there in any way
support for ISO 8859-3, or entering/displaying Esperanto- or for example
Norwegian characters? How do I go about using non-ASCII?

Pardonu, sed mi tute ne povas legi la artikolo de Neville Holmes pro la
tuta STULTA literosistemo kiu estas uzata.  Se oni volas plibonigi la
esperantan skribsistemon, oni povas almenaux esti logika!  La supra
sistemo tute ne estas.

La litero `j' estas palatala glito sen vocxo.  Sajnas ke S-o Holmes
uzas la `j'-n en tia maniero por la pluralo ktp.  Sed kiam la `j' sekvas
`d'-n, gxi subete sonas kiel `jx'.  Kaj por la sono de `jx', li volas,
ke ni skribu `zj' -- ???

Kaj la sono de `cx', kiu povus esti skribanta kun du literoj (`tsx'),
li volas uzi nur unu literon, `q'.  Tute senlogika.

Ekzistas en Esperanton tri literoj kiuj oni povas skribi kun du literoj:
`c', `cx', kaj `gx'.  Fonetike oni povas skribi `ts', `tsx' kaj `djx'.
(Ne cxiu interkonsentas cxu cxi tiuj sonoj vere estas unu aux du fonemoj.)
Se oni volas elimini la distingan signon el la literoj en Esperanto,
oni devas esti logika; tiu, kiun mi skribis, ne havas tuta interkonsenton --
tiu, kiun S-o Holmes skribis, tute ne POVAS havi interkonsenton!

Literosistemo sen distinga signo almenaux logika eble sxajnus do:

`c' ne necesas pro oni povas skribi `ts', do ni povas uzi la literon por
alia sono.  Do `c' nun indikas la sonon de `sx'
`x' nun indikas la sonon de `jx'
`w' nun indikas la sonon de `ux'
kaj `q' nun indikas la sonon de `hx'

Do, la literoj kun distingaj signoj povas esti skribata kiel:
(`c' --> `ts')
`cx' --> `tc'
`gx' --> `dx'
`hx' --> `q'
`jx' --> `x'
`sx' --> `c'
`ux' --> `w'

(Eble oni povas uzi la litero `y' por `j' kaj tiam oni povas uzi la
`j' por `jx' anstataux la `x'; eble uzas la `x' por `sx'?)

Almenaw mia sistemo estas logika; tcu mi vere volus skribi en tia
maniero, mi ne sstias.  Sed mi vetas, ke tci tiu sistemo estas tre
fatsile legebla ol la atcsistemo de S-o Holmes.

And now to post entirely in English:

Can someone tell me where the notion got started, that a language must be 
learned by children in order to be a language? I concur that children have 
much more profound language development than adults, but to deny that adults 
can internalize language and linguistic forms like children seems remarkably 
naive. My own experience with Esperanto, Russian, Spanish, French, and 
recently Lojban contradicts this theory.

My opinion is that "theory" may even be too kind a word. Denying Esperanto 
status as a "language" is about as sensible as saying that modern Hebrew or 
Turkish aren't languages; or that the orthographic reforms of Russian have 
"pidgeonized" or "creolized" that language.

Are there any real rules for determining what defines a language as such? Or 
is it all a matter of opinion and partisanship?

	Yeah, the village people can teach us a lot.
	And, yes, the "ignorant and illiterate" label is inappropriate,
	                                                 for sure.

	You've raised some excellent points, almost all which appear to be  
similar to the arguments put forward by Newton in his General Scholia. To get  
an excellent criticism (probably the best ever) read David Hume's "Dialoges  
Concerning Natural Religion." Hume will argue against each of your points, and  
illustrates the limitations of the so-called scientific method or  
"a-posteriori" reasoning in proving the existence of God. Ultimately,  he  
concludes it's all a matter of faith. Since this discussion is really not  
pertinent to SCB, I've restrained myself to only making this comment.

Terms atheist and agnostic are not synonymous. Atheist is one who doesn't
believe in the existence of an ultimate cause; an agnostic believes that
the existence of an ultimate cause can neither be proved nor disproved.

This is a request for help in a survey of facilities provided to internation
students on different campuses.  I need the information for a class project.

I will appreciate you sharing your experiences of the International Students
Offices in your university with me.  Please let me know of any program that
you thought was useful to you when you joined the school.  Also, if you felt
there was something for which you really needed help and was not addressed
before or after you joined the school.

Thanks for your help.

Vinita
