    Fucking English, dumb language held together by tape and desperation.

    Most languages don’t need spelling lessons.

      Nah, more like has stupid rules because of loan words. Just English them or make up your own lmfao. It’s almost 7/8 of the reasons for anything that makes you go, why?

        All languages loan words. Many languages don’t have a problem mapping spelling to pronunciation.

          Right? Fuck their original spelling. Just translate to your alphabet appropriately and fuck the rest.

                All it takes is for a couple of people to get it wrong and downvote. Once people see the -2, it’s game on and they will downvote you to oblivion. I downvoted you too! But then I rectified.

        This site is the epi-tome of people thinking they’re smarter than everyone else, meaning they miss obvious jokes because they’d rather correct the person making the joke.
