  To repeat an interweb truism…

  English isn’t a language; it’s three smaller languages sitting on each other’s shoulders and wearing a long coat and a fedora.

    To repeat another interweb truism…

    English is closer to Chinese/Japanese as a pictographic system, since there are so many exceptions to the phonetic rules, syntax, and grammar that govern it, that it’s often easier to just memorize whole words and phrases, than to guess how to use them from alphabet alone

      And the other one:

      “English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary”

      Never heard that one, but it’s true. When I need to spell a word I ask “does it look right?”

      That’s a comment that you can use on pretty much any post on any subject.

  At least it’s not as f-d up as French where dudes casually ignore like half of the letters in a sentence.

  From now on, I’m going to call it the “Pacific ocean”, where the first c is pronounced as “c” and the last one as “c”.

  Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I’m very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma’s heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.

      If you are Mainland Chinese (excluding Guandong Province), or Taiwanese, it’s: tâi pʰíŋ jɒŋ

      If you are Hong Konger, Guandong Province Resident, or just want to spite the CCP, it’s: tʰai3 pʰɪŋ21 jœŋ21
