Good job, again, SCAdian.
Doper Sunspace is, as I understand things, fluent in Esperanto. If he was playing, he’d probably have reached Zamenhof long before 14 DQs.
I’ll echo the Professor’s congratulations: great job, SCAdian! What’s our next letter?
That was actually meant to be a bid for another DQ, not an actual guess - I thought he died before 1900!
I guess this time I will be Y.
I remember enough to be able to say “Bonan tagon! Mi parolas Esperanton - tre malgrande kaj tre malbone…”
