    Technically, to make things more awkward, American English has no proper pronunciations. We changed our spellings from British English, but they never set rules on pronunciation. That's why we have thick Southern accents and bunch of others, but they're all considered proper.

    The English you hear on most TV shows (sitcoms, at least) comes from the Midwest.

    I love english it is so easily manipulated - it is the perfect language for description and expression. Also as it is ever expanding it never gets boring and you always have ways to work out of a tricky situation. I tend to write and speak not proper english but highly manipulated english which plays on pronunciations, expressions, and exaggerations.

    I would love to learn german, and french.

    Geometry is easy. Just saying. All you need to do is remember those formulas and viola instant A+ but if you're talking about bi-conditional and such I thought those that I had 2 English class :rolleyes:

    "Are you sure you're not confusing English with Geometry? I'm 13, like you, and in LA. We learn about English and such, but only to make ourselves sound smarter"

    ...English class, eh?:D

    Edit:
    I know there's a rule about correcting grammar, but I think it's relevant given the topic. Report my post and I'll give you an infraction, if for no other reason than to enjoy the irony.

    Dammit NotYou. You always have something intelligent to say. That's why I always rush over when I see your name.

    i also hate english because everything is so complicated
    so many words that has non-sense spelling
    i like my language because it's what you see is what you get
    the spelling of words is also how you read it

    No the top level of English is easy dive deeper and it gets harder. I am in some advance writing class and its getting confusing
    I can also speak Chinese and Spanish
    Spanish is just simple and Chinese is only hard because you have all the characters to learn
    next language Polish

    With the languages, grammar is really the hardest. Pronunciation for European languages (mainly French, Dutch (especially), German, Flemish) is easy for me because I can speak Afrikaans, which has that noise you make with your tongue :p I am learning French at the moment and I can sort of understand a Dutch conversation and I haven't even learned it :p

    I hate English and its confusing but i somehow have an A+ and the teacher gave me the award for best junior high English student. I also am looking to become a graphics artist(thats one of the reasons im learning blender) or a dinosaur. Math is easy and i am being forced to take 9th grade math(algebra 1) insted of 8th grade math.
     
  19. "The" is a definite article. It indicates that you are referring to a singular, specific subject, and is differentiated from "A" in that the latter is an indefinite article that refers to any of a particular subject.

    eg.: "Go get a coffee mug." This says you want any old coffee mug, while "Go get me the coffee mug" states that you are looking for the only coffee mug there is in the current context.

    It is also used in situations where there are multiples of a particular thing and you want to indicate that you are referring to the original of said object. "I have a painting of the Mona Lisa" says you have a reproduction of the Mona Lisa, while "I have the painting of the Mona Lisa" says you have the painting, the original one. (In which case, The Louvre would like to have a word with you.)

    See, now this is where grammar is important. Notwithstanding the other errors you made in that paragraph (capitalization, commas, its/it's, missing apostrophes, etc.) your second sentence seems to state quite explicitly that you're looking to become either a graphic artist or a dinosaur. As ... interesting a career choice as that might be, was that what you actually meant to say? Or was there some sarcasm there that you couldn't properly convey?

    Latin is a lot harder than English.
