To be frank,

Spanish is really awesome,
with this frightening subjunctive and hundreds of pages of rules,
regular, half-regular, semi-regular according to half-non-regular, etc...
it's worse than French !
The Parisian suburbs have made that French language manageable in the end,
Even though the Academie has succeeded in making the orthographe a heap of
Latin shit.

If I have to choose,
I prefer English, no doubt.
This language had the luck to be far enough from Latin !
and the luck to be close enough.

Arnaud.
