English is a very complex, confusing language. Apparently, it is one of the single hardest languages for a non-native speaker to learn. Why is this? Well, I will tell you. Before I do, though, please note that my original title for this piece was A Brief, Somewhat Factual, But Adjusted For Humor Value, History of the English Language, but that was just too long.
First of all, let us look at the British Isles. They were populated by a people called the Celts, a name which translates roughly into Plays Basketball. These Celts lived happy, carefree lives centered around menhirs and civic light opera.
The Celts spoke Celtic. This makes perfect sense, though no one knows why they had a slight Bronx accent.
Next: Romans!
Cheers,
