I don't either. Also, English is frickin hard. I think we all know this. It just doesn't seem that far fetched to me that not everyone knows it. -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 14:53 5
- English is easy. No conjugations. Simple verb tenses. No gendered nouns. The most difficult part is pronounciation. -- nm - Roger More Sep 16, 15:02 2
  - *relatively* easy I should say (and the pronunciation is fiendish) -- nm - Roger More Sep 16, 15:03
  - yep, it is very easy to speak English badly and still be understood. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 15:03
