Wat. English must be one of the easiest languagues. 

 

This is a table with the different conjugations of "Salir" (to go out?) in spanish. Each cell it's a different conjugation/time of the same word.

English is very easy to speak but more difficult to write grammatically correct.

You're absolutely right, people who have lived here all their lives, and have learned English as their first language fucking suck.

There's still full grown adults that don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, etc. It sickens me almost as much as listening to people chew.

I was doing a flip off a rock Sunday and my top fell off and it was right when a giant group of Vietnamese tourists came by to take pictures...

I'm accidentally stalking people in a very weird way and creeping myself out

Only now I noticed that the t-shirt from the Customization Contest Award has a "CC" written. Until this moment I thought it was a pair of stalker eyes.

I don't think that's due to the language's difficulty but more laziness/stupidity/lack of interest/too much time using abbreviations when they shouldn't be used (one thing is texting with your friends, another is school/job work).
In Portuguese there are similar issues. Due to the massive expansion of text messaging and whatnot, abbreviations came to conquer in the most horrible way. It's been a hard fight to bring our language back. I cringe every time I see a 40 years old man writing "obg" instead of "obrigado" (the Portuguese for: "thkx", instead of "thanks/thank you").

I've always thought it was eyes as well.

I accidentally fucked a couch on the night I lost my virginity.
"Are you in?"
"Yeah...why are you so rough?!"

Hi. I'm Adam. This is my life.

 

 

You got the "are you in" treatment. lololol. How'd that help your self esteem?

As @Swarley said, Portuguese has this problem too. Here is the conjugations of "sair" (same as "Salir" or "to go out") http://www.conjuga-me.net/verbo-sair

 

[Katya]

Portuguese is like that for every verb, no?

We don't have any verb that is conjugated all the same away for every damn subject.

 

I think. I can't seem to remember a lot of verbs now, my mind in filled with English words. Argh.

And even with subjects we have too many variations, and not only about gender. Lucky English speakers that don't have to conjugate every verb depending on if they are referring/talking to a man or a woman.

Portuguese has regular and irregular verbs, like English. But has more subjects and verb tenses.
And a lot of irregular verbs in Portuguese are WTF, some in English have a pattern

[Katya]

I know about regular verbs. But our "regular" verbs are very different from English regular verbs.
Take the verb "to live" / "viver" as an example:
I live
You live
He/she/it lives
We live
You live
They live

Eu vivo
Tu vives
Ele vive
Nós vivemos
Vós viveis
Eles vivem

But look at the bright side, it's easier for us to learn English than it is for them to learn Portuguese

[Katya]

What I meant is we don't have verbs like in English where in some cases almost all subjects have the same conjugation. "To live" is a good example of it. And then, like I said before, when applied, we have to use for the correct gender of the person/object/animal we are referring to.

Ela está viva.

Ele está vivo.

O cão ainda está vivo apesar de ter sido atropelado.

A zebra ainda está viva apesar de ter sido baleada.

I have yet to see a religious movie that is actually good (I mean those trying to convince viewers that God is real). They usually make me believe less and less.
