Why your language sucks

Chinese and Japanese
Hey, guess what? Advanced societies stopped using ideograms three thousand years ago and for a very good reason: It's fucking stupid having to learn one symbol for each word. Get yourselves a fucking alphabet, you savages.
Chinese has the added retardedness that it can be ambiguously written in either direction.

English
The only thing more stupid than a language with ideograms, is a language with incomplete verbs.
Why is there no way to know if the written word "read" is in the present, past, or participle?
Why is there no past, future, or infinitive tenses for "can"?
And I can't forget the lack of distinction between singular and plural second persons.


Feel free to add more to the list.

...que/si fuera/fuese a Londres... - ...that/if I were to go to London...
Ha! Typical mistake.
"If I were to go..." -> {"Si fuera a ir..." | "Si fuera a ir..."}

I'm not sure about "haya ido". I'd need to see a few examples.

[If] Hubiera/Hubiese ido a Londres - [If] I had gone to London
No. Doesn't work for this case:
"Hubiera ido a Londres de haber sabido que..." -> "I would have gone to to London had I known..."
But it does apply for the conditional:
"Si hubiera ido a Londres, habría..." -> "If I had gone to London, I would have..."

It's not easy to translate subjunctive mood fragments to English without any context. Another reason English is so much fail.
