I think these are 21 reasons why English is great. I love puns, and how could one pun without similar sounding words or similarly written ones?

Besides, what language doesn't have those?

[Blacksmith1]

Ok so what language should we speak?
Klingon! or maybe Elvish. i mean, people think we're geeks anyway because we understand computers.
and they missed a few like
We saw a wee child
and a good use of the example raiders brought up.
the two women went to the bathroom together too.
why does the dog bark at the tree bark?
has the maid made the bed?
can a cat fish for catfish? (ok that one is stretching it a bit)
the drill bit bit into the wood a bit. (someone stop me!!!)
and i like puns also so these don't bother me at all.
bring them all so we have them also.........

Try living in Ohio where the phrase "I seen" is used on a daily basis. God help me.

[Joshua_Mahr]

We could speak Floridian.

[Blacksmith1]

I ain't talkin like thet no how. and I was raised here.

It's made it out here too
ghetto kids always say I seen this I seen that

[Blacksmith1]

that's common everywhere these days. sadly people don't push their kids to learn to use english properly. I yell at mine everyday to "speak english", and they arn't using foreign words. just english improperly.

[James86]

I do that to my wife all the time
I ask her what did you say?

[raidersforever01]

Yup you got both words right!
Woot!!!

I know the youngins in my family hate it when they ask me "can I" Insert something a teenager would want, and i respond i don't know can you?

Using youngin makes me sound old.

[Blacksmith1]

I prefer to ask them "Do you have the ability?"

My teacher a few years ago told me that out of all the languages English is the hardest to learn. The reason is because of that exact reason and also because English has a big vocabulary. And yet we expect everyone to learn English and use it correctly as a second language xD
