   I was about to write a post about Zionism, but, unlike lots of other people, when I write about such a sensitive topic I try to do proper research first.

   As I was doing this research, I discovered that the Esperanto word for "case-sensitive" is "uskla", which is derived from the suffix of the words "majuscule" and "miniscule", and this is awesome.

     @aharoni so, first of all, I'd appreciate very much to hear your thoughts.

     Second, how did the topic of Zionism and the Esperanto word for case sensitivity get connected? This sounds like some warning box discourse to me.

     @aharoni my first guess was about Zamenhof, who I think was a contemporary and vaguely a rival of Herzl? He had his whole homaranismo thing.

     Looking it up, I guess he proposed a home for the Jewish people in Mississippi, which is a scenario that would make a good sequel to "The Yiddish Policeman's Union"
