English is the best language because I am an English teacher, and thus it allows me to ply my trade of learnin' up all the young 'uns. And by plying this trade I make enough cash to spend on cocaine and prostitutes.

No loving gender and the endings are simple, plus you can make words up and and verbanize words and adjectiveize works and nounanize words and people will still understand them. I don't want to declensionize everything based on some stupid arbitrary rules.krampster2 posted:you can't pick up chicks with english op if you try some frenchman will just come along and cock block you every drat time Hah, I got tons of pussy in Europe with my Texas accent, it was like being a loving golden god.

English owns because there's no real official governing body that dictates vocabulary and rules, so when there's some untranslateable concept in a foreign language, you can just appropriate and anglicize the word and concept, assuming it's something worth appropriating, and there's no Official Governing Body Of The Purity Of The English Language who you have to get approval from, and borrowing words is pretty much embraced over inventing your own like Germans fall overthemselves to do even though they overwhelmingly speak loving english anyway and have no trouble using loanwords, there's a bunch of purists mad at their loanword vocabulary

English is neat because when you get angry or when you're loving - you're basically speaking in proto German/Norse and when you're feeling all highfalutin you're speaking French/Greek/Latin.

english is pretty great for adaptability and stealing poo poo from other languages try speaking German it's like you get one small thing wrong and suddenly they can't understand you meanwhile with English as long as you poo poo the words out in somewhat the right order you'll get by. there's some Asian languages that do cool things with harmonics in music involving the inflection/tone of the speech and the tone of the background beats and music and it makes for some cool stuff. I dunno that'd I'd say English works best for music/poetry but it certainly lends itself to being played around with easily.

Source: I graduated from highschool with a bunch of asians speaking vietnamese and all those other ones. The more fluent the German is in English, the more likely they are to understand your broke rear end german. They call themselves literal people and I don't entirely agree with that assessment, it's helpful to keep in mind they think that when you open your mouth to desecrate their tongue Riot Bimbo fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jul 10, 2015 |
