English is difficult because it is a mixture of many other languages. There are many words from European languages that English adopted or changed slightly. There are words from non-European languages in English also such as Native American words.

english is an extremely complicated language.  we have words that don't sound the way they look and homophones.

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.

Maybe they are like me. I did not understand your question because I don't speak or read stupid. It is not one of the three languages I am fluent in.

It is nonsense Latin. See the site below.

I think as the question was asked in a country I would have answered as you did.  Perhaps the asker of this question meant something different from the way the question reads.  Perhaps the askers does not have a firm grasp of the English language.

Just read, "Does it matter?" as a response.. No, I'm not surprised. You don't have to be an elitest or an English major to speak and spell properly.  Maybe it's just me, but I feel it's a "respect" for others, again sorely lacking on this site.  Watch the nasty responses to this.  Love to mix it up!

I am fluent in English, Gibberish, Balderdash and Piffle, and I welcome the diversity of language found in the questions and answers posted here. \nYou should embrace the nonsense, it's not easy being an idiot - you've got to admire thier commitment (before they get committed).

I think you will need to brush up on your english grammer first mate!!

Um , because English borrows from almost all languages. If you recall, the Brits 'managed' India for many years and those words likely drifted into English, because of course those concepts did not exist in English, likely because of the fact that Christianity does not encourage concepts like 'avatar' and 'guru'.

I'm guessing that you're a foreigner or just stupid. Please use grammar...

And yet you still do it. Let me explain something to you:\n\nI can't understand a damn thing that you're typing when your grammar is so utterly atrocious.

Thank you!  It drives me crazy too.  People also need to learn how to use their, they're, and there.  Than and then is also annoying.  My biggest pet peeve though is people who think orientated is a word.

THIS QUESTION HURTS MY ENGLISH!

I'm so sorry that you would be so aggrieved by the lack of sentential correctness, in others' contributions. There are several reasons why it should be so, namely (but not exhaustively): \n\n1. the contributor is foreign and is not writing in their native tongue\n2. they were improperly or incompletely taught\n3. they have difficulty typing\n4. they suffer from a malady (e.g. dyslexia)\n5. they have little regard for convention\n6. they are excited by the prospect of interacting with the outside world - and hurry too much, to post their efforts\n7. they are anxious to convey meaning, with scant concern for its delivery\n8. as a global medium, the internet has effected a change in the English language by exposing it to the influence of the world\n9. the use of a continually evolving jargon e.g. from LOL to LMAO to ROFLMAO or from <GRIN> to :)\n10. the use of regional/national idiosyncrasies e.g. "I'm p*ssed!", in American English, has different meaning; here in the UK.\n\nOne should also consider that what constitutes Standard English (and its associated spelling and syntax) also varies, from one instantiation to another, around the world. \n\nWere I, truly, cognisant of your frustration (and douleur thus engendered) I should not, perhaps, have sought occasion to write in such formal fashion. It has been, most certainly, a divertissement and I pray you also found it thus.

All living languages have a slang. But I strongly disagree that slang bastardises a language. Quite on the contrary, it enriches it. Certain ideas cannot possibly be accurately said without using slang. For example, try using any expression in academic English to say "son of a bítch". Anything you find will be a washed-out version of the original expression.
