can a house burn up as it burns down, can one fill out a form by filling it in. If a vegetarian eats only vegetables, than what does a humanitarian eat?
The English language is one of the hardest languages for foreigners to learn because it is SO DARN SCREWY!!!
Knowing that I grew up speaking English, I have to say I dont find it that hard, but honestly i think Spanish and German are easy to learn and their meanings and structures are much more literal.
i really agree with you. i grew up knowing german and hebrew. i think german and spanish are very easy to learn. english isnt that hard really. you usually understand what people want from you even if your not familiar with some phrases. english isnt a hard language and there are languages that are much harder. for example hebrew is very difficult and i think i wouldnt be able to learn it if i didnt know it already.

English was easy. Spanish was easier. I'm still learning French. It's okay so far.
That is why English is more simple than Latin, because we do not use cuss words for good words.
1. Have you studied Latin? Not that simple. It is actually rather fun, though. 2. English took the word come, then misspelled it on purpose, and made it vulgar. It never was vulgarity in Latin.
Since I'm too lazy to go and cite crap, I'll just say it here. Despite the differences in what we consider profane and what once was, I'm quite sure words such as f*** and c*** have existed for quite a while. Even if they weren't taboo words..
My original point (in response to Calvin) was that applying a blanket statement on vulgarity being the American way is a bad idea. A better argument is that there are profane words in all languages and swearing isn't unique to one country.
