Until someone tries to learn a romantic language you will never know. I remember takeing spanish and school, and thinking these people are on crack.
Gendered words twelve conjugations nouns infront of adjectives. If you speak english you have to rewire your entire frontal lobe.
Favorite story about language I got to share.
I live in ohio and like a decade back we had a big flower show in town. It was huge so I guess the japanese must have a thing for gardens, because plenty showed up. Anyway they are walking around saying ohio to people which is I think hello in japanese, and ofcoarse people ended up giveing them strange looks. So much so that they ran a story on the news. Which was probabally good because people had to have had some funny thoughts about these people. Yes your in ohio thats the name of where you are.
That brings up a odd question though. If germany is deutshland, and spain is espena and mexico is mehico. Why dont we just call these countries what the people that live there call them. I do not know wouldnt that be common courtesy. Like me saying hi my name is tom and you saying nice to meet you nick.

I hate that leet speech.... then again I am over 30 now. Maybe I am out of touch.
Anyhow, I just love it when someone says "I need an uber carbine" To which I reply

ohio->ohayou and it means good morning ![]()
We'd have to start calling Japan, Nihon. It'd be weird though, we would have to learn how to pronounce everything... and that's too much work for my poor lazy american mind. Hmm... maybe it would be Cehnehdeh?
