       Wow, yours is impressive!

           I merely studied French ...
             Latin & Greek ...
           then when I took a calligraphy course, Chinese - but that went
'in 1 ear & out the other';
             I have no idea what I actually said while writing those bits
of calligraphy  ;-)

       Whenever I attempt to speak Spanish, or Italian, the French takes
over ?!?!?!
           yet I can say hello, goodbye, please, thank you, how are you, in
those languages + German, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic  ;-)

       How about the rest of you on this list?

An anti-English troll- that's a new one for this list.  :)

I can't say that I've studied every language in the world, but I did study
French, New Testament Greek and Ancient Hebrew. Guess what? They ALL have
weird rules, exceptions and strange words.

This would be due to the fact that languages are mostly used by humans who
can be a little bit creative.

I studied some rigidly conformist languages but they were rather dull. As
far as I know there is no equivalent for "I love you" in BASIC, FORTRAN or
C++

Keith- whose name disproves the i before e rule

 English sucks as a language anyway. It's a conglomeration of words grafted
on from many other real languages that mostly still adhere to the rules of
the original language. The result is that English has no consistent rules
without the ever present, "Except", word. This paragraph contains one of
the prime examples. I almost all cases adding apostrophe "s" on the end of
a word denotes ownership, i.e. Tom's car, but to indicate ownership with
the word it the 's' is added without the apostrophe. Of course its could
also indicate multiple quantities of its. Then there are words like
disgruntled. Has anyone ever been gruntled? Then too as in also, two as in
one more then one, and to as in where you are going. There's lead as in the
heavy metal, lead as in being shown the way, lead as in showing the way.
