This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, if you understand the basics of the English language. Many English and foreign-English native speakers don't, and that makes their learning that much more spicy
I honestly feel bad for anyone who has to learn English as anything other than their first language. I don't know if there's any other languages where there are so many exceptions to every rule of pronunciation, spelling, and grammar.
It's oddly easy to learn once you've got the basics, I haven't learned a third language but I did start actively communicating in English just by playing Minecraft.
I suspect it's because of verbs, you just have two or three words for each verb and just add "-d", "-ed", " have" or "had" on them.
In romance languages conjugations vary depending on context/time, first/second/third person, whether the subject is singular or plurar and their gender.
