The bottom part is supposed to say “both do.” I used google translate so it may not be accurate.

    Honestly English is a solid language: no conjugations, no gendered nouns, minimal articles – the only problem I (and most other people) have with it is that words are not written phonetically.

        funny enough it’s mainly the French influence that did this to English, it was pronounced a lot more like the way its spelled before that.

          it’s not the french influence that caused the great vowel shift. the reason english spelling is so unphonetic is because the spelling is OLD. it gets unsystematic updates from time to time, but there hasnt been a complete overhaul in the last 1000 years. pronunciation has naturally changed in that time.

        No, I meant conjugations but you can add declensions to the list too.

        Now you’ll say that English has a conjugation for the 3rd singular person but it’s trivial, so it doesn’t really count
