English syntax hard?

There's a lot of issues with English. Most of them are for using loanwords without phonetically changing how they're spoken in the English alphabet. Then people wonder why they're spelled like Ledoux and sound like Lehdoo.

Romance. Romance languages are the fucking reason you word slurring tongue twats.

But hey, at least we're not Turkik.

    English syntax hard?

    Yes. Sequence of tenses. It's harder than Latin. As in, what the hell does "future-in-the-past" mean?
    Or tenses (+aspect+mood) in general, I guess. You guys have too many of them.

    As for the orthography, you know what is to blame. The Great Vowel Shift.
