But I do know a few things, and one of those things is that Languages Are Complex. Except Pidgins.
I defy you to find me a natural language where you can't say pretty much anything somehow, or which doesn't have a simpler way to say something your own language needs a circumlocution for, or which doesn't allow you to make complex sentences, or which people aren't able to learn simply. Not a pidgin, though, they don't count.
*stares at clock*
God DAMN it, when do I get to go to bed? *goes to wake up Mommy*
Edit: Oh, and let's not have a repeat of the infamous "two people defriended me and I got insulted a lot" fight, okay? I'm pissy because I'm tired.
Edit again: I don't believe it! I stay up all night to make sure she gets up (her clock is broken), and she's already up! How DARE she! *screams*
Night all. Djusk' a.
