As someone who speaks 3 languages, I can confirm english is a weak ass language.

It's strong point is that daily and normal speech and formal writing or speech are almost the same. Thats not the case with most languages, specially the older and more complex ones.

I kind of like how it’s ever changing and evolving, I know that sours some people’s pickles but I think it’s neat. I like how it incorporates and is built on so many other languages. I enjoyed reading a short story posted here a while ago that progressively walked backwards in time as a language and it was really neat to me. I’m an idiot though so most other languages probably do this also.

American English has never be bashful about filing the serial numbers off a word and then claiming it as our own. It can lead, (lead/lead/led?) to confusion even among us native speakers. At least until we sort it out.

Personally I blame the French, (for no reason other than I can), for all the ills in the English language.

That's the indication of a healthy and alive language.

English has the most speakers and is the scientific and professional language of the world currently. So it is the most up to date and alive one currently.

Do u happen to speak german? I’m studying it rn and it’s making me very grateful we live in an English speaking world :/

[–] dismay3915@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

While german is hard and weird, but it's not far harder than english.

I used to know german but never used it and lost the muscle.

I speak Persian(Farsi), Arabic and English. I tried to learn Japanese and Chinese (mandarin) for a while but I just gave up.

I'm glad we're not speaking Mandarin as our common language. It's one of the least interesting languages and objectively the hardest languages I've seen. At least Japanese has it's beauties, but I couldn't find them in Mandarin.
