Dear friends,=0D

Kjell said amongst the hundred letters I tried to read that Novialists sh=
ould practice
their language instead of speaking about it in English.=0D
=0D
That idea, even though it would oblige me to learn some Novial to be able=
 to understand
written texts, is very good.=0D

Zamenhof for instance practiced his language before publishing it in 1887=
.  2 or
3 versions were necessary before it came up in the world.=0D
=0D
Also Ido for some years in the beginning of the century was in a very flu=
id state.
 The people who wanted to make changes used Ido in Progreso.  At=0D

Those who speaks about a language not even trying to make literature in i=
t will see
their efforts simply vanished.  I am not interested in reading about Novi=
al papers
in English for ceaseless reforms.=0D

So James is quite right in translating novels in Novial. That's the first=
 step for
stabilisation of the language.  The same way has been used by esperanto, =
Ido and
Interlingua.=0D

Play in your little wordly world if you do not want to listen.=0D

Meanwhile others may have a more interesting time speaking in an internat=
ional language
speaking about other things than international languages in a certain nat=
ional language
(French before, English for now).=0D
