I hate it honestly. The french spent centuries ruling England and messing up our language just for the rest of the world to make fun of us for it as if it's our fault.

Don't forget the ancient Latin that a bunch of scholars pulled in during the 1600s because the French descendants weren't fancy enough.

It is at least 3 languages in a trenchcoat.

One time in high school, I dissociated so hard that I temporarily couldn't understand spoken English. Tbf, I did it intentionally just to see if I could (as nerds do when they're bored in gym class.) It was very interesting. English sounded like a softer German with French pronunciations, which tracks. I thought it sounded pleasant. I still want to know what non-Native English speakers think, but it was fun to listen to English "from the outside" for a few minutes.

If anybody else has had this experience, I'm curious what it was like for you, too.
