 | the english language is ridiculous |
i was reading the lord of the flies this weekend, and came upon a sentence that struck me as awkward as it started out. "Here there were waves that beat against the sandy shore." Awkward, because of the first three words. Here. There. Were. 3 words, that look aesthetically the same, but phonetically are completely different. That’s just stupid. At least "we’re" wasn’t included somewhere in there. I swear that the english language causes 10% of suicides directly or indirectly. It’s just such a time consuming thing, and no one will ever master it completely, I think, at least, not by the english langauage alone. You’d have to master the root languages of Latin and the like. Inconsistencies are ubiquitous in the english language, and i want no part of it anymore.
