This has probably already been posted before but I'm just shooting this into the dark here. What word in the English language do you hate the most? The two words I hate are cantaloupe and upset.

Also, why is it that the adjectives come before the nouns is given?


That's not true. In Swedish, the adjective comes before the noun too, and I'm pretty sure Norwegian, Danish and German all work the same way. I don't know a lot of languages, but I'm guessing that both ways of typing are just as common.

Sorry for the double post, but this was the quote I was trying to copy.

In all other languages, the noun comes first and then the description.


Also, to make this post not completely unnecessary, I'll add that I find it hard to dislike a word, but I think words with starting with "th" are a bit annoying to pronounce, probably since my main language is Swedish.

Moist. It's an ugly word. But language, not quite English, but language in general, is beautiful. I don't mind curse words though, they only have power because people let them.

I don't hate words, but I dislike the curse words in the English language.


On another note however, I like swearing in french. It is like wiping your (swear that means butt) with silk. Matrix, you should recognize this if you watched Matrix Reloaded.

Want to know why? Because the barbarians from Germany called the Angles and the Saxons met up in England, or Angloland, to make the Anglo-Saxons. The Vikings were very primitive and hailed from Scandinavia. That's why. In Spanish, they at least have an academy for the rules of Spanish. In English, and maybe other primitive languages, they don't.

Th is from Greece. Ps, Th, Ph, and X (pronounced like a Z) come from there, I think. English has loan letters that aren't in the alphabet. At least put them in the alphabet if they don't make a sound they are supposed to. In Spanish, the C and H don't make the che sound, but CH make the che sound.

Does the word 'homework' ring a bell? I can live with school, I can live with having to wake up at 6 in the morning, I can't live with 4 hours of that nuisance every day.

Are we basing this off of the meaning of the word or just the word itself? Based off of the meaning "Essay" sucks, but based off of how it sounds "fart" probably

Tusks. It takes me 3 times as long to say the word just because that rough sound. Since then I have gone to using "Tusk" as plural and singular form. This gos for all words like this.

Let's see... I dislike the word "bloody" when used in the context of "I hate this bloody computer!" It's a curse word in England. Even though I'm in the U.S., I cringe when my friend uses it. He also uses the word "bugger" a lot. That's another dirty word I need to get him to stop saying.

Here's a word: soliloquy (did I even spell that right?)
