I decided to learn Esperanto a few years back.
Its construction drove me crazy.

Esperanto has a pronoun system based on English's (highly irregular), an irregular phonology, a biased(and irregular) gender system, and derivations that seem poorly made.

I'll also stick to English.

I would also like to add inflections for future and perfect (instead of tossing in have's and will's) but that's just my personal taste, and wouldn't change the amount of info to be memorized.

I like have, but I'd say formalize gonna for the prospective and I'd be happy to replace "will."

As I see it, we've already replaced thou/thee with [ye/]you, why not replace he/she with they?

Then we can just get more into the habit of using royal "we" and use "I" for exclusive plural.
I think the reason English tends to become the default language is that, although it's really difficult to learn well (too many exceptions, too many words), it's really easy to learn badly and still be understood (lots of exceptions, lots of words).
