Because it doesn't have a word for "Spam."


So what is Esperanto for Spam?

Johannes

They probably had hoped to avoid it and thus omitted it from the language. :-)

One English-Esperanto dictionary web-site which boasts 15,500 terms returned this result:
Result of search for "Spam": No matching entries found.

Oh well, that just proves my point that Esperanto will never succeed in Hawaiian until it expands its vocabulary to include the word spam. :-)
