Alright, are you calling English sane?

There are parts of English that are simple and there are parts that are complex. Same as any language! The cool thing about linguistics is learning about the neat features of some languages. For example, Chinese doesn't use articles!

Neither does Russian, Ukrainian, and I’m guessing, many other Slav languages.
