huh? sure, english has some weird parts in its grammar like irregular verbs or a bunch of redundant tenses, but its grammar still is very simple, words usage isn't so simple though. there were tries to simplify english grammar even more with exactly the same purpose why esperanto was made, particularly i mean "basic english".
on the other hand, these "useless" parts arguably aren't so useless, i hear that esperanto literature (not to mention poetry) suffers from the artifical grammar poverty...
also, there is a rumor that orwell's "newspeak" from "1984" was inspired by esperanto :3
