English is the worst. “We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
I could believe that other languages with more regular grammar might be easier to parse. Or maybe Romance languages lean on more easily distinguished phonemes.

- paranoidrobot 4y agoI like that quote. English also tends to take delight in stealing words from other languages, and then using them in the wrong way. Seemingly in an effort to drive speakers of the other language up the wall.
