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.
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.
Bloody is a common expletive in former British colonial countries. Crikey! Crocodile Dundee.
Diarrhea just SOUNDS awful.
So does diarrhoea.
(did I even spell that right?)
Yes.
I don't like transmogrification for some reason. It peeves me.
English is a primitive language, and it pains me that Latin didn't survive but a language as filthy as English lasted.
Blame the natural evolution of language and the circumstances that allowed English, a Germanic language, to rise to international dominance. Also blame the fall of the Roman Empire, barbarians and some other rubbish.
Also, post in Latin.
facetious...it seems like it's everywhere.
You're in the wrong places.
It is like wiping your (swear that means butt) with silk. Matrix
You could have just said buttocks. Oh, and French sounds classy to random people. It does.
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.
@ adjectives before nouns In my language you can use both XD it depends on what word you want to give more importance. @ Latin in most languages apart English you have to learn three verbal conjugations, right? To speak Latin you have to learn four conjugations and more than five declinations for each gender, and guess what? The genders are three! So, about 15. And lots of irregular words, of course. So it's better if you stick with today's easy languages XD
And on topic, I hate the word "just". Not for the sound, but because I have just listened to that song Can mean I have only listened to that song Or I listened to that song a few minutes ago AAAAAAAAAH! WHAT WAS HE MEEEEANING!!!!
some word souned out like this at-trosh-ious. my [b]FRIEND keeps saying it and its getting so anoying. he's like the floors look that word, getting anoying

That's one of the things which irritate me when it comes to Latin. Though really, all languages have their nuances.
AAAAAAAAAH! WHAT WAS HE MEEEEANING!!!!
That's what context is for Gab.

Atrocious? To be honest, when one person overuses a word it gets bothersome for me.
Island, Three, Noob (not newbie) leet, pwn, epic, fail.
Don't even ask about half of it... Noob I dislike because it's used as a insult now, and if you welcome someone if they're new like "hey noob, want some help" or something like that, they take it as a insult. Pwn just because you can use own, at least own is a word. I don't even know what leet means, im going for it meaning elite, so i don't like it. Epic is overused, like if someone jumps onto a moving car or something everyones like "DUDE THAT WAS EPIC!!!1!!one1!!" when its not, epic would be ramping a bike off a roof double backflip into a helicopter (lol). And fail is just overused, and it's not proper grammer in most situations, and I prefer "facepalm" lol.

Infinitive: Amaree
1st Singular Amo 2nd Singular Amas 3rd Singular Amat 1st Plural Amamus 2nd Plural Amatis 3rd Plural Amant
6. I think it is better so that is specifies and has no real confusion. There also I think no more than 10 irregular verbs in Latin, compared to English's 50-100 irregular verbs. Spanish has like 30. Italian has 25. France has like 60.
Latin has no accents, no triple vowels, few irregular verbs, and the only times the pronunciation differs is this:
ae as in âaisleâ oe oi as in âsoilâ au ou as in âouchâ ui Sounds like âweâ ei ei as in âeightâ
The rest of the time, it is easy. Also, I like how Latin is the founder of the Romance languages. It could be taken out, but it makes it unique.
Oh bugger, I just can't bloody hold off from posting here any longer, I do have a question though - are there actually any words that are truly English? Most seem to be loanwords or composites or clever creations forged from the words and roots used in other languages... Sod it - I'm not bloody posting until I find a good, English word that I can hate.
Words like go, house, dog, one, cat.. Yeah, I don't know if you'd hate any of those words. Derived from Old English, which in turn stemmed from some Germanic language which probably came from the Proto-Germanic language. It seems many of the more basic words have Germanic origins.
English is a combination of Germanic and Romance languages. The grammar is similar, but the pronunciations were mixed. The root words stayed the same. In Spanish, to owe is "deber." Debt means to owe something. "Deb"is the root word. "Bellum" in Latin means war. Belligerent and rebellion all have the root word "bell." Those words all relate to war.
Avorne, English is not very unique. It is unique in how unorganized, guttural, and simple it is. That's why it is so difficult for people who speak Romance languages to understand, pronounce, and understand the grammar of English. They learn the vast rules of French, Spanish, and Italian, but compared to English, there are only like ten rules.
