- shiroiushi 2y agoI have. German is complicated, but it's regular. The plurals are crazy, but they're regular: once you know the rule for them and how they map to singular/plural and case and gender, you can apply it everywhere. "Orderly and precise" doesn't mean simple. A Rube Goldberg machine can be orderly and precise, while still looking like a ridiculous amount of unnecessary complexity.
