A friend of mine asked me, why I hate English so much?
I picked up a random object (a toilet spray) with an English text to demonstrate why.
The text was “Shake can well”
I said:
- each word in this sentence has too many meanings:
this demonstrates that any word can mean anything, and every random sentence can have hundreds unrelated meanings.
- This noun in this phrase has no (definite or indefinite) article. This demonstrates odd strange, peculiar, weird, queer, funny, bizarre, abnormal, eccentric, unusual, unconventional, outlandish, quirky, zany, wacky,kooky, screwy, freaky, oddball, offbeat, irregular complex grammatical concept.
So this is a tongue with wrong grammar and huge vocabulary, where each word has too any meanings. Altogether, this makes language poorly suited for communication. I refuse to like it.
