More of an Enclave thread, but that's pretty nasty in terms of grammar. I think Welsh trumps it, though:

Did you know that the Welsh there is actually a description of the location?

I know the place in the bottom picture is from somewhere in New Zealand.
I can tell the name of that place is Maori, and you only get Maori names in NZ.

iirc, that's the second longest place name in the world.

That's confusing, I feel sorry for you having to speak a language that complex, it seems even worse than English (shock horror!).

Seriously? I never considered the English language to be particularly complex.

Nor have I Alfadur, I find it simple. What annoys me is when they start telling me what is what, and I'll go "Look at my grammar, now look at yours. Shut up and never tell me what to do again."

English is an incredibly complex language. There's so many different forms and stuff. And have a look at this:

Plough
Through
Though
Cough
Borough

Expect a non-native to get all those right... I missed some as well.


Llanfair is the second longest place name in the world. The Maori one is the longest.

Both of them are descriptions of the location in that language, but the Welsh one is all lies =P

Ok... but I think learning "basic" English is still easier than learning the "basics" of some other languages.
