English...

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

Foreigners look down on us.

 

Shame shame to our language.

 

But I love it~

[-Berserker-]

Any language that differences "me" from "I" is not worth learning...

 

Any language that makes you change an adjective for masculine and feminine nouns is not worth learning...

 

Why does it have to be "guapo" and "guapa"? Why can't it just be one for singular and one for plural? <___<

 

You don't have that bullshit in English.

 

The boy was pretty.

The girl was pretty.

The cats were pretty.

The dogs were pretty.

 

The adjective always stayed the same' date=' the only thing that changed was the verb, to fit the plural of the last two sentences.

We also don't need 7 words that mean the exact same thing. Not even synonyms, I mean the same damn word.

 

Tener

Tengo

Tienes

Tiene

Tenemos

Teneis

Tienen

 

Vs

 

Have

 

 

So yeah.

 

AHAHAHA, don't forget all the tenses. <_<

 

Present, Past, Simple Future, Future, Present Progressive, Imperfect, some other shit I forgot from Spanish class.

 

In English, we have "have", "has", "had", and I believe that's it. Not 30 different words that mean the same thing. AND WHY DO THERE NEED TO BE IRREGULAR VERBS?! Stupid "ir". <_<

 

Anyways' date=' English is important and has infuenced A LOT of other languages.

On the contrary, English is just a clusterf**k of elements from other languages.

 

English is fail because of, well, the use of letters, which is kind of the core of any language. We have assigned sounds to letters and then completely ignored those sounds:

 

Exhibit 1 - What genious decided that 'tion' would be pronounced 'shun?'

 

Exhibit 2 - Why have 'an' for vowels and 'a' for consonants? That rule is barely even followed - 'it was an honor,' 'we're forming a union,' wtf?

 

Exhibit 3 - The letters 'c,' 'j,' and 'x' are all entirely unnecessary to the language. All their sounds are covered by other letters.

 

Exhibit 4 - Silent letters. That is all.

 

Exhibit 5 - Double letters. Leters is far more logical.

 

I can go on like this for hours. Let's face it; many of the 'rules' in English are little more than token gestures. In my opinion, the only good thing about English is single-syllable cuss words.

 

Spanish is far superior.

 

The letters "qu" are covered by "kw", as it makes the same sound and looks more logical.

 

I agree with every point except point 5. I don't know why, but when I see "leters", I pronounce it like "lee-ters", not "le-ters".

 

Stupid "To be"

Latin and German are BA, at least IMO.

 

Latin words just sound awesome.

Speaking in German just sounds awesome as well.

 

Also, it's pointless to fight over which language is better. Mainly because they are going to be biased towards their original tongue, and will see any flaws that are pointed out at their own language as nothing, because to them it is extremely easy to speak it, because it's their home language. At least, IMO, that's how it would work.

I'm actually biased against my original tongue of English. Although I hate Spanish more... but it was either that or French. <_

[Twin Seed]

Dark: I'll teach you to love French...LOVE IT!! -Shakes fist-

 

OT: English is great when you master it, confusing though.

[Scatty]

English is cool because of that.

 

But all languages can have such flaws. In Romanian, untdelemn (traduced wood butter) means holy oil.

[Cloister]

I think German is not BA. Just sounds weird. English is BA.
