(comparing with european languages since those are the only once i have a decent idea about their grammar. But there are languages such as finnish that are just plain dumb in how hard it is to learn. I find Korean/Japanese to be easier to grasp than finnish and I'm swedish with serveral finnish friends.. ~~ I dunno about how it is compared to other romance languages, but even though English is a Germanic language I still find the grammar in French to be very similar to English at least, in terms of tenses it's really similar. I suppose sometimes word order changes. The only thing I had trouble with was the subjunctive as far as I went... | ||

There are historical reasons for this, namely the Norman conquest which introduced a completely new, French-speaking ruling class. | ||

There are historical reasons for this, namely the Norman conquest which introduced a completely new, French-speaking ruling class. However there was VERY little integration as the Norman rulers decided that they were better than the locals, and ruled from the heavens. This meant that there was very little linguistic integration at that time, and most of the french in English now came at a later date. Some of it stuck, but a lot of it was kept VERY separate from the commoners. In fact, the Norman speakers alienated themselves linguisticly because of this, and they also lost their connection to Normandy, and ended up speaking a completely archaic dialect compared to their brothers in Normandy. | ||

And as I said, there are historical reasons, not just this one reason. The subsequent involvement of England in fights in France and other political events also contributed to this, but the influx of French into what we now know as English started with William the Conqueror's victory. @down: Don't complain, appreciate the knowledge you may acquire. =^.^= | ||

Polt, only having a year left in his major, is probably not going to an American school to finish his degree. He is probably coming to America to beat all the foreign tournaments in 2013, become fluent in English, and join a foreign team that will send him everywhere he wants without GSTL obligations. After all that stalking and theorycrafting, I still wonder why you aren't a personnal friend of the man himself. You probably know more about him than Polt himself. :p | ||
