Yes, the English language is a mess and considered one of the hardest

Nah, I was less than a year old and learned it like I was speaking it
all my life.

I had missed opportunities.* My grandparents were from Poland but never
spoke it to us as kids but I wish they had when it was too late.* I
picked up a few words from their conversations with my parents.*** In
high school I was given two years of Latin but now wish I would have
fought to take Spanish as it would have helped in real life.

Yeah, I had Latin and German in high school. The 'business/shop' kids
took Spanish. They also took typing, which I've never mastered despite
close to 50 years of typing code from keypunch machines and on up. At
least words on a LCD screen are easier to fix than holes in a Hollerith
card.

I can type faster than most people by experience.* Lessons are overrated.


Yes James, we all know you can do everything faster, better, smarter,
blah blah blah, than everyone else.
