Do You Hate the English Language?

[Jerusalem and Damascus]

Any reason?

If I had to rate English, I would give it a "meh." There's just other easier, more beautiful languages out there spoken by a relatively large amount of the global population.

I'd say English is quite beautiful. It has a capacity that a lot of Romance (though not all) languages lack, being in a sort of perfect middle. You can utter the bloodiest, most wrathful sentiment or a poetic, passionate one and English will be suited to both.

Genderising nouns is irritating, inefficient and sexist.

Which is about the only difficult thing about Romance languages. Meanwhile, English has countless exceptions and idioms that make absolutely no sense to anybody but a native speaker.

French has an arseload of those, my friend.

Irregular verbs, for example.

I'm not saying it lacks the capacity to be. Indeed, in the right hands, every language is beautiful.

C'est le fin des haricots.

That's the end of the beans.

[New Libete]

I don't hate English, but I don't particularly like it. In fact, I'm not crazy about languages. Words suck at conveying what you actually want to say.

Also, all languages have idioms. English is just blessed.

[Los Ireland]

No, i'd love to speak more languages but i'm just terrible and pronouncing them..TERRIBLE! I like English because I was raised with it, but then again it was used to oppress my people but meh, were over it.

Also, idioms are geographic. A native speaker doesn't necessarily know what is meant by down in the mouth as it may not be used where he lives.

English is a wonderful language, diverse and with a unique history. Ghd English language is great for poetry and prose, with varying levels of formality and complexity. No, I do not hats the English language, I love it.

Tapping your wrist to ask the time doesn't work in a society without watches.

Of course you can fly, you can make fire come from your fingers.

European explorers discover that flying isn't as amazing as firelighters.

Thank God you don't speak Finnish, then. (I'm assuming).

Where have you been for the past 300 years?

The only Finnish words one needs to know is Vittu and Perkele.

Lies! One needs to know "olut", "tai", and "kuolema", too! And in that order.

Nah, Finns drink Koskenkorva and Finlandia. Beer is for children...and Swedes.

Well if they're not drinking it then they won't mind if some crazed Walloon takes it while he tries to flee their mad Uralic nation.

As long as you're not Russian, take it and hide. We'll cover you.

If I said that in 1939, I probably would've been shot.

Russian moles who know Finnish, they're everywhere.

You're in.

*Whispers* But between you and me, I have a few traces of Russian. Just keep it a secret!
