English is my mother tongue, and there are things about English that I really like, but it also contains weirdnesses and special cases that serve no purpose except to make the language harder to learn and harder to use correctly. These are not the worst things the English have ever done (I'm looking at you, royals) but they are problems, and I think that they should be repaired.
