For me, "cool and edgy" are huge alrm bells on any political ideology and social movement; "cool and edgy" is fine in the arts, but should be applied to politics and society in general only in very, very, very, very small doses; best wait until the ideology has lost its coolness and edginess and can be evaluated with a calm eye and mind.

They wanted me to read it out, but after about three words in German, they were like "What does it mean?" and I told them and one goes "That doesn't rhyme though!?" and when I said "It does in German!?" she was like "OMG! I'd never thought about that."

Not funny, but true, from hwhatting:
hwhatting wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 6:00 am I guess your approach has two problems: if each language contributes, say, about 10 words, and the languages are not similar to each other, you don't really help anybody much in learning your IAL. And if you simplify the phonology, you make it harder to recongnize words - it's a bit like the pük in Volapük is based on English "speak", but if you have to be told that in order to get it, that means it doesn't really help in learning the language.
OTOH, as the world won't use an IAL anyway, except if someone becomes world emperor and imposes it, you can treat it as an art project and don't need to concern yourself with learnability.
