Yeah, I think that's been fairly widely known for as long as there's been pop music.

That's why most of it sucks so very, very badly.

But it does not suck! It is scientifically crafted to be loved!

...or at least, by its target demographic. Who has the most disposable income and is why they bother with it.

I bet if they crafted pop music to appeal to YOUR generation you'd love it anyway.

Humanity, I am exceedingly disappointed.

I appreciate that you have put effort into the cause of preserving the critically endangered El Hierro Giant Lizard population, but you stopped your measures to control feral cats, which are one of the main reasons that the El Hierro Giant Lizard became critically endangered in the first place, and the Roque Chico de Salmor Giant Lizard became extinct.

If you don't take measures to control feral cats, the El Hierro Giant Lizard will become extinct.

So, last night I sent this guy I was following an ask, and he got mad at me and replied something like "shut up just fucking go away". So, I unfollowed him. Then, tonight, I sent him another ask: "Is it okay if I start following you again so long as I stop trying to talk to you?" ...And, it seemed like he had entirely forgotten about what he sent me o.o Gosh.

They have different origins that affects their anglicized use.

Because the Roman alphabet is hardly equipped to supply all the phonemes used in English, so why the hell not double quadruple-cast one role?

That to.

Remember ladies and gents. The English language doesn't so much borrow from other languages. As it ambushes them in a dark alley, knocks em down, and rifles their pockets for loose grammar.

More like.

English as far as languages went were a bad lot. A rough gang cruising the alleys and night streets of culture. They would frequently fight amongst themselves but never passed up an opportunity to gang up on other languages. Sometimes they got a new member for their sordrid group.

Some of the heady early days involved roughing up the Barbarian languages spoken by the Vikings, French, Gaels, Celts, and Romans. Those were good times.

Now adays things were easier. The other languages frequently got drunk and careless and wondered down the wrong alley or would be out too late at night.

Usually only one of the English gang would do the job at first. They may take turns savaging their victim. Occasionally they would gang up on some poor soul.

American English was kind of greedy and had been jumping languages constantly. Didn't help that his weird cousin American Internet Languages seemed to be stealing bits of grammar from everyeone else and kludging them into new products to be pushed on the languages.

Those stuffy types at the academies tried to crimp them out but they couldn't stop English from ravaging French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and any other language they felt like knocking over.

All the English wore borrowed words like gaudy jewelery. The days of the weeks were popular as were the names of the months.

They would all have regular throw downs over who had the best grammar. No one ever really won and sometimes it got ugly. Last week American English and British English got out blades and started slashing at each other for over an hour before they decided to just swap some slang around with tv shows as fences.

Languages beware. Stay way from those English thugs. They will not think twice about shanking your language for some grammar, words, and slang.
