Please, explain how a language can be "retarded." If I recall correctly, English has one of the largest vocabularies in the world. Who gives a shit where the adjectives go? It's an easy language to learn (minus the irregularities), and it's a nice choice for a lingua franca.

Why would we ever think that? Every sane language does it that way.
Nah, I like how it adds suspense to what's being described.

Language is just a means of communication. While english is an amalgomation of languages, and we have aquired our share of oddities thereof, every language has nonsense elements and gramatical irregularities. If i grunt and communicate my sentiment, is it less meaningfull or significant?

lo mas graciosa es q toda la gente q dice malas cosas de la idea tuya son los que probablemente les encantaria usar el sitio diariamente jeje
Nah it adds variety where there was none! Also we'd probably end up needing some sort of word to attach the adjective to the noun if we put it after it something like say 'that' or 'which' or ....
Lulz, one of the largest vocabularies in the world because it stole German and French vocabularies. Therefore they have two words for one meaning. Useless.
English is not easy for everyone, depending on your language background.
And the only order is: SAVO

English is actually a very bad choice as lingua franca, but it turned out to be that way because of politics etc. In most latin written languages you pronounce the word the way it's written and write a word like you hear it. In french you can't do the latter. In English you can't even do the former.
the reason why english doesnt make sense sometimes is because its a combination of ancient french and germanic laguages with latin grammar imposed on it.
Thats why its improper in English to split infinitives, b/c infinitives cant be split in latin.

You do understand that putting the adjectives before the noun allows you to think about the descrip---- You're right. Damn. But I like it how it is for I speak it how it be done speak by many as of this timeing in tyme all tyme. Lawng time.

There's nothing wrong with split infinitives.

fundamental flaw in english: no difference between you(singular) and you(plural).

Ah yes, and it is thus not a part of the language.

No, you still don't know if "you" is singular or plural because it's the common accepted form world wide. You making a convention that "You" is only singular is useless if it isn't generally recognized(that is outside your redneck village)
We used to have separate singular and plural forms for 'you' - like in French or German, the singular was an informal version and you used the plural to address someone formally. Singular / informal was 'thou', plural / formal was 'you'. The former was phased out since we're all such dreadfully polite chaps.

Moar like joo're too retarded to use correctly two forms
Germans don't have a problem with putting the verbs at the absolute fucking end of a gigantic sentence either, but it's still completely stupid.
To illustrate:
Deutsche haben kein Problem, die Verben am absolutten verpissten Ende eines gigantischen Satz zu stellen, aber es ist noch komplett dumm.
Germans have no problem, the verbs at the absolute fucking end of a giant sentence *to put*, but it is still completely stupid.
(My German is shit, but you get the idea)
Also, a lot of other languages place adjective after noun. Even better are languages with cases and declension, where word order doesn't determine the meaning, but rather the emphasis.
