Why your language sucks

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-23 13:27

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.

I'd say english lacks proper levels of politeness.

In spanish, or japanese, sentences are quite different if you are speaking to a stranger, a friend, or your boss. (Ex.: Usted v/s Tu)
In english, it's almost impossible to tell the difference. You speak in almost the same way to anyone.

I wonder if this is the reason why western culture has lost all about respect and being polite.
