Left: A sensible language
Right: English (one of its more simplistic varieties, too)

@Felthry Ah yes, the language that almost everything is gendered and there's not any official neutral pronouns or articles so I have to steal French's articles to make up the neutral pronouns.

But yeah, on the other side English pronunciation it's just hell, why can't we have just a broken English were you can just say what's written like in Spanish (instead of play being pl-ei, we can make it pl-ah-i)

@Genstar oh, every language has its problems. Just talking about english's ridiculous vowel inventory mostly!

basically spanish is perfectly reasonable from a phonetic standpoint. has some big problems with its grammar being overly gendered though, like most indo-european languages do
