English Sucks

Has anyone noticed how badly this language sucks? Don''t you think it''s a little strange that someone like me, who''s been speaking English for 12 years, still doesn''t know how to talk or write correctly? (and no, I''m not from the sticks, so I don''t have a stupid accent or use expressions like "hey y''all!") I''m sure that you Scandinavian programmers know what I mean, seeing as you guys had to learn it as a second language, right? And anyone who programs know how much more efficient English could be if they only included one way to do everything and eliminated compound sentences (like this one, actually.) (BTW, I probably have at least five, if not ten, grammatical errors in this post and I couldn''t find all of them if my life depended on it.) lntakitopi@aol.com | http://geocities.com/guanajam/

Yes. Klingon is a much better language.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind

French is a beautiful language, but it''s far more difficult to learn than english. If i wasn''t french, i would have never learnt it since it must be a REAL pain.

Anyway, Shilbert, you shouldn''t complain that way. English is a VERY EASY language compared to french or spanish.

Efficiently is not all. Can you imagine how bad looking would be such a langage ? Imagine how exciting (i''m sarcastic) it would be to read a book written in such e basic way ?

I''ve never had any problems with English... Is it really that hard? It''s a pretty easy to learn, if you compare it to French for example. French doesn''t make any sense

Maybe you just haven''t been studying it enough ?

Excuse my ignorance, but where is Tiberia located? It''s not listed in the atlas that I have (the atlas is a bit outdated though, it''s from 1979 )

I too never had any real problems with english. It is a lot like dutch, and dutch in turn is a lot like german. One difference: the germans don''t copy words from the english language whilst the dutch do. Also the fact that most movies and tv programmes on dutch tv stations have subtitles, not the voices replaced makes it easy to learn.
