      honestly, I'm all for standardization but English is a terrible language to learn lmao I mean, it's fun, but like, there are so many idiomatic expressions used so constantly that it's nearly impossible to learn to a reasonable degree without speaking it all the time

      also fun rules "I before e except after c" oh have you noticed that doing the opposite of this rule gives you better accuracy

      "Wait, so how do we pronounce clique" is it "click" or "clee-k" nobody knows and everyone looks at the other person funny for pronouncing it that way

      the number of times I've read words and used them in conversation only to have my friends look at me when I say them weirdly *has* been a constant source of amusement tho like, c'mon you'd think a nice property to have is the ability to read something and pronounce it aloud

      with like, at least 60% probability, but nooo, English doesn't even follow its implicit rules half the time :(

      otoh, whatever, most even non-idiomatic English is still reasonably readable and at least sensical (this is not the case with a, uh, number of other languages, afaict) which does make it useful for Science™ for the most part but it's a language with a lot of finicky specifics

      (I'm not saying there aren't other languages that are worse, ofc; tradeoffs abound, but this is coming from someone who learned English as a second language and became fluent enough to be confused for a native speaker)

      It *does* make for some funny conversations though with people I've known for a while "Wait, you speak Spanish?!" "Yeah, my name is literally Guillermo Andrés Angeris, like, c'mon this is the first thing you could've guessed; it doesn't take much"

          ikik, I took the bait, but it was actually kinda fun! I mean, I agree with the general premise, just funny how beautifully terrible English is :) (and then thought it'd be even more fun to write a thread about it instead of doing my work and here we are)
