Florida has a lot of towns with native names to balance it out, too. Sarasota, Pensacola, Okeechobee, Tampa... I like those names more, seeing as they were here first and all.

 

[Figgles]

I don't think English is ugly. Just poor.

 

[dig]

Just more.

Also in less important news, @Kakuna Matata; and I have decided to get married. Would anyone else like to be married to us? We are looking for around 70 other applicants.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Sound more what?

I meant that I prefer how native names sound, as opposed to European names. :S

Ooh ooh where's the venue!

You could've just said that without jumping on the English hate bandwagon.

Well, it's true that I don't think English is a pretty language.

 

[Figgles]

Don't start.

We've had this debate before? I knew I should have trusted the déjà vu.

 

[Zima]

I guess I'll join in on the marriage?

 

[Jolene]

You can't let other languages know that. It will make them feel better about themselves.

They should, because they aren't English.

Klingon says hi.

The Irony is strong when a unilingual person insults their own language.

To begin with, he doesn't have much of another perspective.

 

[Zima]

English... It has lots of words and rules...

Russian doesn't roll off the tongue too smoothly, either.

Where's Zeemer? Did I get her goat yet?

English... It has lots of words and rules...

English might claim it has rules, but Rule #1 is "Ignore everything past this."

 

[Jolene]

Some people see lots of words. I see a rich and expansive vocabulary and many options to use in my writing and speech. Too bad most people are too simple to utilize all these words.

After I realized I was too old to become fluent in any other languages, I decided to be as good as i damn well could in the only one I know.

 

[Figgles]

It has too many exceptions to said rules.

 

[dig]

Ah prufur Scottish

I like English's relatively large number of synonyms, don't get me wrong, but the pronunciation is not pleasing to my ears. French is a much more logical language, if you ask me. Except for nouns having gender. That's dumb.
