because you stole that word from french lol

Queue: consonnant sound

Queue: you can’t follow a q with a e, you need a u in between. in french u gotta

Queue: the eu sound is actually not like how you say q at all, it’s a french e sound but it’s longer (also distinguishes from the word que)

Queue: it’s a feminine word so it gets a e at the end

[gaphic]

u say that like its somehow better and not just a crushing indictment of french

French spelling is far more consistent than English so like English speakers can’t really talk

[omgdidyouseethato-o]

who tf cares how consistent things are spelled when you don’t pronounce half the word??

[sasukool]

Not to be rude… but are we pretending English doesn’t do the same shit? At least in French it’s almost always the end of the word and the same letters that are silent. English on the other hand? Try pronouncing every letter in even simple words like “half,” “are,” or “you.” Pure clownery.

As if that’s not enough, English doesn’t even have consistent vowels lmfao. I can rhyme “bow” with “toe” AND “cow” - two separate words with completely different vowel sounds but the same exact spelling! English is a joke

[omgdidyouseethato-o]

oh by all means english is a bastard language and it steals bits and pieces from every language so the rules are completely not intuitive. but let’s be real the French are to blame for like 50% of its clownery, like 37% from the Anglo-Saxons and the rest on colonialism

not only is English a joke, but also my criticism of French spelling so like chill out lmao

[sasukool]

I disagree. 100% of the clownery in English comes from English. Words and structures may have been borrowed from or imposed by the French or other influences. But they have come to last through the efforts of English speakers using and/or modifying them (into even weirder forms) consistently over centuries.

What I’m saying is English, even its purest most “untouched” rules, words, and expectations, only seems “normal” or “natural” from an English speaker’s perspective.

I’m not asking you to like spelling in French. But French isn’t English. Why is it being judged on English rules and expectations of spelling and letter functions? Which themselves make no attempt at consistency?

You can blow your own comment off as a joke. Regardless, the point still stands that languages that aren’t English don’t deserve to be mocked for not following English expectations.

[omgdidyouseethato-o]

how profound: a language only seems normal to its native speakers, and French isn’t English 👏👏

this whole post is one language mocking the other based on its own standards so get off your high horse. every language deserves to be mocked, including English. but most of all French. 99 (four twenty nineteen)?? potatoes (apples of the earth)?? seafood (fruit of the sea)?? birds (oiseaux pronounced wazo)?? where do i begin 

[sasukool]

You reiterated my points... and then went on to completely miss them.

I don’t know how else to tell you that other languages are allowed to communicate values or name objects differently than English would. I don’t know how else to explain that other languages are allowed to have different sounds than English and use the same alphabet differently than English.

None of that makes a language any worse than English. None of that means English speakers deserve free reign to shame another language or its speakers for its supposed “flaws” (read: stark differences from English).
