Remember, EM POC only!
How are you all doing? Anything exciting you wanna share? Anything you wanna share that’s not so exciting but rather frustrating instead?
Spill it all here, comrades.

I only speak English and I feel the same way lmao…it’s not just you. English is not a very efficient language. It’s not spelled the same way it sounds. It’s probably the only language where we have something like a thesaurus. Why do synonyms even exist in the first place? English is nice when we have very specific words (like “pretentious” vs. “ostentatious”), but I’d gladly trade those for consolidation of words like ran, sprint, dash, dart, race, hastened, and hurried into one word.
Ironically enough, yk how Pierre Poillievre said he liked Anglo-Saxon words for their simplicity…
Honestly, I am now appreciating more the Romance and Greek influences, if not Germanic, of the language, for the fact that they can easily be broken down in etymology and yet are more technical, than just the Anglo-Saxon base… especially when used in political language
“National Liberation”, “Cultural Hegemony”, “Base and Superstructure”…
And I’ll bet yer ass, there’d be like, Idk, a Spanish cognate of those terms
