Yes, one of the oldest tricks in the book is in use. Unfortunately it still seems to work.

Agreed. I think it could've been solved better. Although excessive use of -igi/-iĝi can make the language sound duller, so I guess it's just what it is and that's it at this point.
IMO, Esperanto could be used at schools as a "gateway language" to language learning in general. It's simple and as logical as can be in grammar and syntax. The vocabulary stems mostly from Latin based languages so learning the most common root words help students build up their vortarojn for other languages as well.
That sort of utilitarian approach to E-o, instead of the more traditional, ideological approach could bring it more popularity. But I'm no teacher so this is likely not happening.
Yes, it's not flawless. My personal pet peeve is that there's no clear way to know if a verb is transitive or intransitive. Despite the shortcomings, it's a fun and rewarding language to learn.
Nice touch including esperanto.

It's Priscilla, but well played nevertheless.
They should've checked this from the authority himself: Gary Busey.
And hence the term read-only Friday.
