Yet even in its spoken form, English is weird. Itâs weird in ways that are easy to miss, especially since Anglophones in the United States and Britain are not exactly rabid to learn other languages. But our monolingual tendency leaves us like the proverbial fish not knowing that it is wet.
But maybe it means that English is the perfect language in which every possible shade of meaning can be conveyed, so that if there is no way of expressing an idea in English, the idea is not worth expressing. If so, it is probably the second most arrogant, ethnocentric, xenophobic, ignorant and stupid thing you can say.
