Infixes are not very normal though and I would assume most languages have prefixes and suffixes.
I mean more in the terms of people will get annoyed if you didn’t write two words together and instead separated them. And that is becoming pretty common since English is used a lot and you never do it in English, so people started doing it to our language as well (I’m also guilty)

Some people will always get annoyed when you play with language, doesn’t matter how you do it or with which language.
English just happens to be exceptionally malleable and fun to play with, compared to most other languages including my native Danish 🤷

Haha, yeah Danish sucks. I understand now, lol.

Some aspects of it, such as the fact that the only way to know the en/et of nouns is to already know, indeed suck but I wouldn’t say the language as a whole sucks. It’s an ok language, English is just a much better one 🤷
