KidK - I love it that you understand and respect my view on English, even though you are a native speaker. Thanks for taking the time to say so! And I DO realise that my vision of Esperanto is completely utopian and will never happen. It's going to be the language of the currently most influential nation, and at the moment that is the USA. Does anyone believe that our grandchildren might be speaking Chinese as a foreign language instead?

As for planned Russian: Well after reading more about Kasus for the nouns - YES, I support it. It should be done!
Russian is fantastic, but the grammar is just out of this world. I have a completely new level of respect for Baltic people and others who speak fluent Russian as a foreign language. It must have been really hard work.

There have been several major reforms of Russian, right? Maybe another one to clean up the grammar a bit?
The spelling is fine I think, once you understand the rules and how the "soft sign" works.
