[quote=Anonymous]One of the most interesting things about English is how weird it is. It uses some of the most simple grammar, but has among the largest vocabularies. (If anyone has a interest, go read Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson, which was way more entertaining than other lingusitic books). This means that it gives poets and authors great tools to work with - simple frameworks on which they can twist and turn the language to make it express complex ideas a hundred ways. Shakespear did this like no other, and in doing so, he added more and more to our vocabulary. Studying his work is to study why and how English is extrodinary. [/quote]
