  No. Get over the fact that English is the common speech of the world. And be grateful you even can learn new languages; not all of us can.

    Many years ago, the common speech was French. The world of diplomacy and international mail was all French.

    As someone who struggled for years learning that vile language, I’m glad we switched to English. It could have been German and its 16 different way to spell an article.

    Fuck off, pinkdrunk. I was just trying to make a point about the meme, even I know bi_tux was being sarcastic. And no, I did have to ask someone wtf he said in German, I don’t understand it so much as know like three words (“Deutch” and a couple others) and recognize the similarities between English and German because I play transport simulators and the logistics sim game communities are pretty much centered around Germany and the UK.

    Also nice post history, I see you’re ready and willing to attack anyone who disagrees with you. Blocked.
