Of course language was intelligently designed. It was clearly designed by intelligences to improve communication of concepts and ideas.
Obviously, though, these intelligences designed and modified it on an ad-hoc basis.
Oddly enough, Esperanto, an intelligently designed language, has not caught on. Maybe designing language in an ad-hoc manner has some real advantages over pre-planning it?
Esperanto is to languages what communism is to economics.
I don't even remember Esperanto being taught at the college level. If it's not taught consistantly in schools and/or spoken at home, how the heck was it to catch on?!
You mean, the advantage of being actually and practically useful? Hmm... I dunno, do we have the support of the French on this?
