What do you make of the statistics quoted below which shows that, at the 95th percentile, French uses 50% more words than English? Compare http://www.eupedia.com/europe/missing_words_english.shtml http://www.eupedia.com/europe/missing_words_english.shtml and http://www.eupedia.com/europe/missing_words_french.shtml http://www.eupedia.com/europe/missing_words_french.shtml I see many errors in the second list, do you see many in the first? I do not consider English a poor language at all. I find it extremely flexible and expressive, whereas French just comes with a very large standard library.
