If I had a dollar for every time I saw a native english speaker complain about how &quot;hard&quot; English is. . .<p>I think those that were born speaking English and never had to learn a second language start to feel insecure around literally everyone else who speaks both their own language and English.<p>So they make up this meme about how &quot;English is the most irregular and complicated language in the world&quot;, and hey, now it&#x27;s okay that they don&#x27;t know any other language, they&#x27;ve gotten the hardest one down! Yay!<p>It&#x27;s the most pretentious linguistic meme  I&#x27;ve seen.
