That is a stupid thing to say and you should accordingly be ashamed of yourself.

>>6917721
That doesn't make any sense. Explain.

>>6917729
so what you're saying is you agree?

>>6917730
the yankee version of english is perfect and should be widely adapted as a universal language

>>6917721
The premise in your picture is wrong. Read Gottlob Frege. Sin und Bedeutung

>>6917721
What is the difference between a duck?

Please explain what makes a language perfect and how English fulfills this role.

German masterrace

English is certainly the most poetically expressive language by this point.

I remember hearing an old monk talk about some dead language and saying "unlike English, there isn't a lot of ways to say something in (old language)."

I'm sure that's the case with English vs. most other languages, today. There are many ways to express the same idea in English.

>irregular verbs
>logical in any way

I swear I'm not a weeaboo, but I think Japanese is close to the top. No conjugation, no alternate syllabic pronunciations (homonyms, etc), what you read is what you get. To me it's like the Lego of languages.

>>6917721
There can be no logical foundation to language, if that's what you mean.

>this is what americunts believe

Any language that comes from latin is goat tier

>>6918702
It is also among the worst languages in terms of information per syllable.

>>6918744
Latin is tied as the majority supplier of English words.

English takes the boldness of Germanic language and combines it with the phonaesthetic elegance of Romance languages to produce a Master Language.

Medium quality bait.

English translations of ancient latin/greek are pretty terrible and contrived because of a lack of cases.

>>6918744

This, latin languages are the best.

English is just way more malleable. I think it works better in post-modernism and current literature, but not overall.

It's a bit like waving those little plastic flags on your national holiday.

Look at this self-centered, shortsighted little twat.

>>6918702
>it's like the Lego of languages.
that is german

>>6917721
No.
English is a hashed together creole that consists of mostly nouns, with an equally atrocious set of grammar rules, that sometimes have more exceptions than adherents to the rule.

I too have read this internet clickbait, next to "Can You Reach Space By Farting ?".

But let's be honest: do you actually know what the people who measure this define as "quantity of information per syllaba" ?

>>6918768
French is also a bastard of Latin, Germanic language and Celtic languages like English.
Thus combinaison is not particularly graceful to be tbh.

Yes but French is the worst of all, whereas English is the best of all.
