Does anybody else also think that the English language is weird?

Does anybody else also think that the English language is weird? The reason I find English weird is because I can't express myself in it. English has so many words and I don't know many of them. So, English is a weird language simply because I can't express myself when I speak English. For example, why does English have the indefinite and definite article? Why must I say, "I am a man" instead of saying, "I am the man"? I think I am THE man, given the fact that all women want me in bed.

The English language is full of anomalies and loopholes. In my opinion, that's what makes it fun to learn. For example: Why would one park in a driveway, and drive in a parkway?

As for your comment on being the world's alpha male... :cool:

What the fuck is a parkway.

Google's your friend.

I thought it was two Canadians discussing whether or not their car would fit into a spot or not.


" Park? Way?"

In the United States, Parkways are defined as follows:

1. A type of road
1. A broad landscaped thoroughfare; especially : one from which trucks and other heavy vehicles are excluded.
2. A roadway in a park : a landscaped thoroughfare connecting parks
3. An expressway located on a strip of land legally constituting a public park and therefore not open to heavy vehicles
2. A landscaped strip of land between a thoroughfare and its sidewalk (see Tree lawn) or running in the center of a thoroughfare (see Central reservation}

I thought this was about English, not American English. If people can't understand that, which is made up as they go along, they have no chance with a proper language.

English is a strange conglomeration of German, Latin, French and Nordic languages.

Hell yeah it's weird.

shitty language if you ask me.
funny how you just need to add a preposition to those "overused" verbs to change their meaning...

no worries mate, chinese or urdu will be our mother tongue.

One of my favorite skits ever.
