Okay this is nothing about Grant but I just find a funny article about French and I’m dying of laugh. This is so damn true ! (Yes I’m French and I find this really funny!) I had to show you this !
Ah AH! Oh, girl, you have no idea how damn complicated our putain de langage is!
Mind you, I only started to write it correctly (without making a shit-ton of mistakes) when I was writing my memoirs (I was 22-23 yo). I’ll let you imagine how awful my student’s orthographe can be (especially for our poor kids with dyslexia)… And buzzfeed didn’t show our conjugaisons…
You’d think the verb “aller” meaning “go” would be simple? Aha ah ah aaaah…
And there is worse. Believe me.
One of the reason it’s so complicated is that French orthographe was made by men (and some women) of letter in the 16th and 17th century who were:
Elitist as fuck. Still are. Let’s not make rules that are simple enough for peasants to understand, shall we?
HUGE. LATIN. NERDS. So they made sure no-one could forget French comes from Latin, hence why we have a “p” at the end of “loup” (wolf) because it comes from “lupus” even though everyone pronounce it “loo”.
I could rant about it as many days as there is exceptions in our grammar rules. And there. is. a. lot of them!
I sincerely hope tagalog is simpler. And now you know who to blame for all the weird shits in the English language because - well - it’s mainly our fault.
@selchieproductions have you ever encountered a more fucked-up language as this?
