| Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they? |

It is clear that english was invented by crazy people
Just think about it, all the languages that derive from latin alphabet, have also normlal letters spelling and pronunciating. The only language that has the spelling of latin letters are all fucked up, is the English language.
As you know, in ancient times people were not questioning the authority, whatewer their mental state was.
So it is clear, that for some very unluky reason, the people responsable for written english language without any logic reason have created a wrong spelling for the latin letters.
Even after the democratic revolution in USA, the people responsable for throwing out the english forom America, didn't cared too much to create a new logic american language with the correct letters spelling.
Doesn' it bother you to live and use the wrong spelling for letters that all other latin countries are using in correct way?

I have little idea what you're blithering on about, but I'd like to point out that English is a Germanic, not a Romance, language.

Re: It is clear that english was invented by crazy people
^Yeah, the irony of such a post rife with spelling and usage errors is enormous.
But blame William the Conqueror if you must. The Norman Conquest resulted in the first great influx of Romance words into English, and eventually the dichotomy between Anglo-Saxon words being considered vulgar and Latinate words being acceptable--"fuck" versus "fornicate," for instance.
Pesonally, I think this richness is what makes English the best language for writing prose--and the most challenging for writing poetry.

Well it is worldwide aknowledged that english i sth ebest language ofr rock & roll lyrics. When you hear a rock song it makes you feel cool becous eof the pronunciation.
But if you are using the english spelling as everyday written langualge, it can create certain disturbance insid eyour brain, as your brain is constantly wondering why the sounds of th eletters are not equal to thei rwritings.
The most horrible thing for a brain is to see that while you write one letter it can have dual spelling sounds.

Re: It is clear that english was invented by crazy people
Is your horrendous spelling on purpose, or accidental?
And no, there are no 'disturbances inside my brain'; I read words, I comprehend words, and never wonder why "the sounds of th eletters are not equal to thei rwritings". Perhaps you just suck at English.

The spellings of the words don't matter to fluent readers because words are recognized by the word as a whole rather than sequentially contemplating each letter.

This can all be corrected by Nooalf (http://www.nooalf.com/). However, it looks like verbal diarrhea to me.

It's actually some of both. That's why it seems fucked up to the majority of non-English speaking people.

Negative. English is a Germanic language. It just incorporates so many Latin derivatives that Romantic words make up the majority of the English lexicon.

Re: It is clear that english was invented by crazy people
WTF are idots or what? Do you have any idea whta the fuck i am talking about?
I am talking about th espelling, one letter - one word. English is the only latin based language that has the spelling of th eletters all fucked up.ù
What the fuck german has to do with th efucked up spelling?
German is anormla language, as other latin based languages, it has a normla pspelling for any letter.
Eglish is THE ONLY LANGUAGE that has the spelling made by crazy people.
What I am talking about is that the latin alphabet was allready perfect, that's why all the pother latin languages adopted the alphabet and the spelling.
English people were all living on a fucking island, they didn't had a chance to talk wiht other europenas, and they had a fucking crazy asshoel, who changed all the spelling.
What the fuck is so fucking hard to get?
ENGLISH HAS A FUCKED UP SPELLING; IT'S THE ONLY LANGUAGE IN WHOLE EUROPE.

I think this was made by an obvious asshole, not just by a simple asshole, but a very rare type of a hugely fucked yo asshole. IT is even worst than usual english.

Only barely; your English sucks. Perhaps that's why you're complaining so much about the language.
Although looking through your post history, I have concluded that you're trolling.

Hey buddy, you don't have to go this far, you just need to hear how europeans start lauthing their asses off when they hear the pronounciation of the english alphabet.
You see, if you were not raped by english alphabet at school, and your brain is still capable of coherent grammar, then english is evidently all fucked.

Among others. Let's not forget those groups that contributed after the Anglo-Saxons made landfall: The Norse, French, and indigenous Celtic groups. English sure is a hodgepodge of stuff!

Re: It is clear that english was invented by crazy people
In answer to your question, the spelling of this language drives me Bugfuck Crazy.
Its OK for me, I've had a while to get used to it but it makes it harder than it should be to learn other, related languages and i pity anybody who needs to learn ours.
The spellings of the words don't matter to fluent readers because words are recognized by the word as a whole rather than sequentially contemplating each letter.
Actually, i beleve that has to do with how you learn to read, and also is more common in the male of the species. I don't remember where i got that tidbid, so it could be wrong.
