Wizard Random Sempai Fatalis Duex Kurai Mori Fatalis Duex Here's a question.
My native language is Japanese, and I've been learning English. My question is why do you American's inist on having words that sound the same yet you spell them differently? Likewise, why do you have words that are spelled the same and pronounced differently/have different meanings? Do you enjoy torturing foreigners and stupid, illiterate people? Um. o_O There are these things. They're called kanji. Maybe you've heard of them? Actually, Kanji is different. The meaning of kanji depends on the stroke order and placement. Likewise, they are meant to reprsent an idea, or thought.
Not an actual word.
We do have words that sound similar to one another, but are typically spelled differently, and never to the degree that English has. We also have rules to our grammar, as does English, but English always has words or phrases that break or bend these rules. As far as I know, that doesn't occur in other languages.
What I'm really wondering is why you English-speaking folk have to make everything so @&%#* hard to understand. You twist the rules to your grammar, constantly change the meaning of words.
Whats up with that?Okay try imagining this. Original English - "Hello we're a simple folk speaking an ancient Gaelic-style dialect" Romans - "Rawr we pned joo!" Romanized English - "Hello, we speak a Gaelic pidgin with latin borrowed words to do commerce" Vikings - "Rawr We Pned joo!" Anglo-Saxon English - "Hello, we speak a heavily germanic-influenced Gaelic! French - "Le Rawr, Nous have le pwned joo!" Norman English - "Hello we speak a horribly bastardized Germanic language with so many borrowed and changed French words it'll make your head spin!

No wait � we NEED meat at the meet so we will knead the meat so that next time we meet at the meet we can mete out the meat. At our next metallurgy meeting we need to select the one to lead the lead team based on the one who led last time. Before you read this try and remember what you read and if the letters were blue or red when you read what you read from Reid for it was written with a worn out reed.
