Weird language rules

theaustinstollhaus When people go off about how English is the worst language, I just wanna point out a few things: - Our future tense requires only one word (looking at you, Spanish) - Words don't change meanings depending on tone (Cantonese) - We don't live in some bizarre Beauty And The Beast world where we give inanimate objects genders (romance languages, German) - Likewise, we don't have have two different words for "they" because we don't care whether "they" were male or female (Spanish, French) - There's no formal "you" because we don't play mind games about whether or not we respect you (Spanish, German) - We don't alter the whole f------ language based on how much we respect you (Japanese) - The letters and sounds might not be consistent, but at least we have letters, not just pictures (Mandarin) - We don't have a f------ stupid tense specifically for talking to two people because some idiot decided that a two-person tense was necessary (Arabic) So yeah, I think we're doing okay as a language theaustinstollhaus Oh and some of our plurals are irregular, but at least it's not like every goddamn plural is an entirely new word so you have to learn every word twice At least it's not like that, right? Right, Arabic? WHAT A DUMB IDEA THAT WOULD BE, HUH, ARABIC? Source: theaustinstollhaus #funny #languages 49,849 notes
