  6. Spell narc. English is a terrible lanquage.... there are way to many words that sound the same and are spelled differently, and way to many special rules.

    I'm glad you like it, but I find you extremely petty and boring.

  9. Than I guess I'll get a life and spell like the rest of some you English challenged losers. But what can I expect from a language in which its biggest improvement in the last 200 years is that now two "F"s are one "S"?

    I agree fully with 8:19, English is horrible. But me pretty and boring?
