    The first thing that comes to mind when I hear “English has flaws” is the spelling. Consequence of being a mongrel language.

    I also think it’s weird that we say the adjective before the noun, as opposed to, say, Spanish where it’s the other way around and you say what the thing is BEFORE describing it. “The white…” “The white what? THE WHITE WHAT??” “…wall.” “Oh, okay.”
