   I find a problem with #Esperanto is that by virtue of having a large chunk of its learners being English-speakers, the language in informal settings gets peppered with really weird calques which are taken directly from English, like "ĝi iras sen dirante" or "mi estas OK"

     @cocoron @kashtanulo In HK Cantonese, "OK" is even treated as if it were a native verb-noun phrase: "Leih O ngh OK a?" ("Are you OK?")
