You also think it's stupid that your subjects come after your adjectives.

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.

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.
