Why is English so horrible, asking from someone who doesn't really care?
That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving.
@The Freeman: because we have dozens of grammatical rules that contradict each other, and we constantly borrow words from other languages and turn them into completely different words entirely.
you're stronger than you think you are.
One of the reasons that English is supposedly not phonetic (it's a lot more phonetic than most people assume if you follow the rules about how position in a word affects a letters pronnounciation) is that we have a ridiculous number of vowels. I think it's something like 14 depending on dialect.

There's a reason fimfiction has that convenient mature tag. Just avoid that, it should save you some headache.

Aaaaand there's a post for the tumblr.
Strictly speaking nobody is 'good' with foreign languages except young children and people who have already learned a few of them. Knowing more languages gives you context to understand other languages, even if they are from a different family. Learning German straight from English can be tricky because it has three genders and lots of conjugation.
It also helps immensely if you have the desire and guts to actually attempt speaking it, unlike me.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
Good evening everyone, what's new?
Journalism is just a gun. It's only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that's all you need.
Hablo. Spanish tends to combine the "I [VERB]" or "You [VERB]" into single words.
All I know about Spanish comes from
For Whom The Bell Tolls. Apparently, they say stuff like 'I obscentity in the milk of thy mother' a lot.

It's mostly due to borrowing words from so many different languages. A French word in German completely breaks the pronounciation rules, but there aren't that many of them.

That premise didn't sound very mature to me.

That sounds fun, Turtle. I ought to do more camping, or hiking, or anything, really.
So, we're using language to find what cheeses can be used during great and powerful sex? I'd recommend any non-molten cheese.
Oh god, I've reverted to a 14 year-old boy. Please send help.

There's something to be said for cheddar.
Praise to Itempas, Dayfather, Brightlord
A good Stilton would work well too.

And with brie you could spread it anywhere.
I'm sorry. I'll... I'll stop now.

Cheddar is best cheese. Pramesane and mozzerella are ok though. American Cheese Product should just die already.

From what I gather from varies histories you can mostly blame the Normans.
