This would be a lot easier if nobody had betatested the software

Brentai · « **Reply #1143 on:** July 28, 2009, 09:50:16 PM »

I want to find the guys who betatested the English language, and strangle them. It's the most unintuitive, user-unfriendly interface I've ever been forced to learn.

Kayma · « **Reply #1144 on:** July 28, 2009, 10:28:49 PM »

I laughed. Out loud.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #1145 on:** July 29, 2009, 04:49:37 AM »

So me and Kayma both laughed at that.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #1146 on:** July 29, 2009, 05:01:22 AM »

I chuckled.

KAZZ IS CORRECT HERE BUT FOR ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REASONS.

By which I mean I took some French and I am vaguely familiar with its similarities to other romance languages and

what I'm trying to say is fuck gendered nouns and all that inflection forever

and also non-alphabetical character schemes.

English gets no respect.

Yeah, gendered nouns are a bitch to learn. You pretty much have to be born in the language to make any sense of the idea. You can do some very beautiful, fancy, subtle stuff with them though, so frankly I'm glad they're there.

Haha, I remember when I first learned that all you need to do to put a verb in future tense is to stick "will" in front of it. I was all "wait, that's it?"

I think that's why it often bothers me when I see native English users fuck up their own language; it's such a simple one by comparison. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I learned it from Dragon Warrior. What's their excuse?

Getting interrupted.

Kazz · « **Reply #1155 on:** August 16, 2009, 08:55:18 AM »

People who interrupt each other and then instead of stopping and listening they just increase volume. Not angrily, they just continue speaking normally and get louder.

François · « **Reply #1156 on:** August 16, 2009, 10:37:35 AM »

Everyone knows that the validity of individual points is entirely irrelevant in an argument; the winner is always decided by who can output the most decibels.

I'm a fan of languages where the letters always make the same sounds. And accent marks are a nice, intuitive way of saying "this is an exception to the way you would ordinarily pronounce this word."

But I agree with your complaints on the arbitrary gendering of nouns. And Zed's point that our tenses are a lot easier.
