Losing control of a language seems to be standard procedure.
If this invented language were to catch on, it likely wouldn't be a generation or two and kids who grew up speaking it would start saying the Ithkuil equivalent of things like "yo dog, that's the rad shizaz!". Then, several generations thereafter grandmothers would be regularly using the word "shizaz" and they would have to put it in the dictionary. That's just the way it goes and is probably the reason we don't all speak the same language in the first place.
That being said, I've always been fascinated by the idea of a systematically created universal language and think the world would be much better place with one....if that were possible.

This was a neat article.
