    I have no clue, but it’ll be better than a language that thinks it’s acceptable for words like “read”
    to not just have two different meaning, but two different pronunciations,
    while also having words like “sense”, “scents” and “cents” be pronounced exactly the same.

    And while writing this, I just learned that pronunciation should be spelled with “u” instead of “ou”.
    That makes no sense.

        The sounds English makes is pretty good,
        but I don’t know if it’s the culture or the language itself,
        but it has a giant tendency to want to use a
        euphanisms and dysphemisms to emphasize superiority
        over other languages and cultures
        and also has a giant tendency to use weasel words,
        to weasel in authoritarianisms.
