well, well, well. Try calling someone you don't know very well, "du" in German, rather than the Sie and see what happens?

Sure you know some Romance languages, or say you do. I speak, read 7, including Deutsch & ancient pharoanic Khemetan. and can translate more simply by having a good lexicon . That comes in handy with Scandivanian lingo, esp. in genealogy. russki, as well.

The HUGE point you miss about Inglischen is that we have NO gender for not biological nouns. Romance languages, for port or door, have gender. And must match 100k's of nouns with articles and 100K's of adjectives with the gender. Which adds mistakes & processin time.

Nouns in English outside of biologically, have NO gender, makin Ingles 70% more efficient than all romance languages & some like Deutsch which do.

Put Dat fact in yer pipe and smoke it. Dat huge, vast efficiency is why English wins, globally.
