English does have a lot of weird rules, but one thing that does make it easier to learn than other languages is the lack of gendered nouns. Memorizing all the different words for "the" and having to conjugate them was kind of a pain when I was learning German.

Be glad you didn't have to learn czech We have even more of those rules than German has. For example in German you have 4 forms of the (der des dem den) for all genders, but czech has 7 We also have a lot of rules for writing i/y. We also have rules for writing ","s. This reminds me I've never learned where they should be in english. I just always put them on places where It feels right.

Oh man, people can live 10 or more years in Russia yet they still will make a lot of mistakes, due to a huge amount of rules that the language has, and sometimes these rules don't even make any sense whatsoever.

i'm surprised to hear that. English has a lot of nonsensical rules (and nonsensical exceptions to those rules), too. it's not a language like Spanish, or something. Spanish has exceptions to its rules, too, but not nearly as many.

So if a language owns the Internet does it really own the world?

I also wonder if Anglo Saxon culture that came from germanic tribes, is the reason english as a language developed. I don't know if thats the case, but who knows.
