The education system has a lot to answer for, did you know that as long as the message gets across u cn tiep, tork or right in any way you chuse, it's up to the listener or reader to decipher & make sense of it, spilling mistayks are nt marked dwn as they SHOULD be.
I have made the "would of" mistake but it isn't because I don't know that "would've" is the correct spelling but because they sound identical. So, I type sounds that I'm thinking. English has always been one of my worst subjects. My grammar is bad but my spelling is worse. The rules for spelling seem weird to me. I think there should be a letter for every sound. It would make the alphabet much bigger but once you know it you would know how to spell every word including words you haven't read yet because all you would have to do is put the sounds in order. That would make the rules simple. You would just memorize the sounds and put them in order.
It's like that in Polish language. But the rest of the language is quite messy (a lot of things you just have to remember, no strict rules to some things). :)Quote:

That's how the Japanese language works and it's really formulaic. It's always in the same order and you just plug in what you want to use. And it only has 48 characters/sounds. Which isn't bad. Only problem with it is there is no L nor V. So if you added those in for each vowel sound it's 58 for La Le Li Lo Lu Va Ve Vi Vo Vu to be added. IF you wanted to do something like convert english into that format. Otherwise just use Japanese :P It's that lack of L syllables that also causes that stereotype of ''Asian" people saying things like "la la" as "ra ra." Since they don't use L's nowhere in their language they use R since it's the closest sound.Quote:

Most of the conjugating is required for like if you're speaking to an equal, a lesser, someone you know, or someone above you.
Ontopic: There are quite a few little insignificant rules in english for certain uses. It's like when using ''less'' as opposed to ''fewer." Or whom vs who. Which you basically have to go out of your way to learn since they are so minor and don't come up all that often. Then you have your little helpful rules to follow that don't always work. Like the famous "I before E except after C" rhyme that pretty much messes everyone up who knows it. English is probably one of the easier ones to pick up for basic communication. It's not terribly hard to learn how to speak well enough another English speaker would understand your intent. Where it gets incredibly difficult is learning all the rules and conjugation lol. Then things go crazy. Many famous authors are even starting to ignore certain rules in their writing since it's almost too complex at times.
Mixing up there and their is also a mistake people make more and more. I read it on YouTube last night and since there and their translates to two completely different words in swedish I had to read it a couple of times before I understood what error the guy made and what he meant.
