English is three languages in a trench coat mugging other languages for more words. That’s why it’s so fucky, also there have been attempts to reform the language but outside of the Webster Oxford split most of the time it’s only effected a word or two resulting in weirdnes like with solder/sodder/soder which are all ways of saying and spelling the same fucking word.
It’s frankly a miracle nearly every dialect is intelligible with eachother if folks slow down their speech, though mines so fucken scuffed it breaks speech to text.


There are people who were born in 2008 who are 17. Point is greybeard there are definitely adults who postedate windows XP which came out in 2001. In 2001 I was 2 at the most and only on the last month and a fifth of the year, I am now 26.
