A comment thread on the ''Conlang Critic'' review for {{w|Ido}}, started by {{w|Esperantist}} Anthony McCarthy, has become a popular inside joke in the [[Toki Pona community]], with even {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} referencing it.<ref>{{cite YouTube|id=9eu0GeZW1vk|title=First Look at the New Toki Pona Book|author=|channel=Oats Jenkins|handle=OatsJenkins|date=Feb 4, 2024|access-date=2024-02-04|quote=}}<blockquote>'''[[Sonja Lang]]:''' Right now, there's a lot of attention on the {{tp|sitelen pona}} writing system because it's not yet been codified into [[Unicode]]. So I hope {{su}} helps with that effort. Like they say, show me the bibliography.</blockquote></ref> It is used self-deprecatingly, as well as to poke fun at critics of Toki Pona who are taken to have insufficient knowledge of it.

<p>You have got to be about the most superficial commentator on con-langues since the idiotic B. Gilson.</p>
