Mary Jane!

still can't compare to hockey.

 

hockey does look like a pretty sweet sport, but you just dinnae get the chance to paly it over here

 

which is a bummer. it seems to be all over europe tho.

 

we have a team... but i dont bother trekking out to see them, and there is next to nowhere to play

 

i mean more like scandinavia and the czech republic.

 

You must not be talking about the other large english speaking nations, Like India, where American football is called Football, or Australlia and New Zealand, where football refers to Rugby, which is much closer to US football.

Freaking saxons think the world revolves around you.

 

throughout europe anyway (but in their own respective alnguges)


i always thought that football in australia would reffer to aussie rules...

 

My friend from New Zealand called rugby football, and she said that in the Aus commonwealth, all rugby was called football

And you can't compare fotbal to football. Other languages don't count just because they refer to a sport with the same words. If they do you can count spanish speaking countries, and you've already won.

Spanish is only bastard latin though, so I think it should be excluded from talk of language.

 

you don't hate spanish, spence.

you just hate mexicans.

 

well you learn something new every day


and isnt every language just 'bastardised' latin anyway? (and by that logic, latin is just bastardized ancient greek)

 

no. only romance languages.

 

Nah, I live in Texas, Mexicans are the ones I do like. And other latin Americans. But Spaniards on the other hand, are the only other nation to fuck up the rest of the world as much as the British.

Or the vatican. but Mexicans had nothing to do with that.

Of course there was that stupid Jesus in the Mountain the other day in Mexico.

Really there aren't many ethnic groups which don't leave something to be desired. I like people from the Philipines. We fucked them over pretty bad and their still talking it in stride.

Thailand's pretty rockin too, but they have a pretty dumb drug policy and way too many prostitues, which I had previously thought there couldn't be too many of in a place.

Parts of Africa that aren't Islamic, Christian or have tribal wars I really like.

Most of Canada's pretty cool, But I can't really tell the difference between them and people from Michigan. Except for French Canada. Don't even get me started on the French.

 

I hate the english and love the french


its the auld allience you see

 

Germanic languages and Romance languages are very distinct.

Le Chair? What the fuck Spanish? My chair isn't a he or a she alright. It's a fucking chair.

Germanic languages have more in common with other synthetic languages like Russian and Turkish in terms of structure. Any similarities of words between Romance and Germanic languages are just due to being in a small region.

 

because english is the most logical language ever.

 

Even the French don't like the French. Why do you think Theres all that rioting in France? A bunch of people fled from Africa and realized they were in France. I'd be burning cars too.

 

but we like the french because they hate the english you see

 

I agree. Chinese language can stay, It's a pretty language, but they should all speak Madarin. Chinese varies more then Romantic languages do from each other. Turkish languages aare pretty widely spoken and distinct too.

In India they speak enough English that they don't really need their own language.

Arabic can stay, as long as they stop that Mohammed crap. He was a general who conquored a bunch of your ancestors okay. God didn't say anything to him.

Spanish I'm only willing to keep as a world language if they make some major concessions. Like from changing 'Le Chair' to 'Chair'.

So the world can have English, Chinese (1) Turkish, Arabic, and maybe Spanish if they change their tune. 5 diverse languages is good and will bring the world much closer together.

 

why dont we all learn esperanto?

 

because if i ever met someone who'd learned esperanto, i'd slap them for being so nerdy.

you might as well learn klingon.
