I hate math. Not because "math is hard", but because the language of math is hard. It's unintuitive and minimalist and full of obscure runes and intonations and nothing is ever explained simply. Many of its properties are just conventions the first person came up with and nobody ever decided to consolidate all the quirks into a simpler form. It's unnecessarily hard to learn - especially for those with learning disabilities. It turns out there are lots of languages like this. C and Verilog and Assembly, and ... Cantonese, Albanian, Russian, Arabic. Ask people why they're like that and there is always a story, and usually some good reasons (or at least useful qualities). But language is a part of culture, and sadly, culture is incredibly hard to change.
