The most difficult language in terms of comprehension, in my opinion, is Traffic-Horn. There's only one word, and you can say it long, short, in bursts, but ultimately the word's meaning is entirely contextual.

I hear the traffic horn is a fully developed language for Indian commute.

In English, yeah, pronunciation is pretty important, but the emphasis and what kind of emphasis on syllables don't matter as much other than not making words sound weird. I wasn't really thinking of where words have different phoenic sounds all together like "ee" or "eh" sounds, just different emphasis on each letter. The way I'm thinking of it, I can't really demonstrate through computer. My mom's native language (Laotian) has the word "mah" which, depending on the stesses, can mean dog, more, come here, or here. They all sound the same, just slightly deeper, or slightly higher. There also might be more meanings, but I don't know Laotian that well. Whoops.

Rather than actually try to speak, I often make generic grunting sounds with different tones and inflections to tell people stuff.

Having meanings ranging from:
"Ah, this is good."
"Eh, I'm not sure."
"Uh, I don't know."
"Err, I need to think a moment."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"Ooh, that's interesting."
"Uh uh, I don't agree"
"Uh huh, that's agreeable."
"Argh egh ruh hah hrurgh hyargh, That is quite an interesting point you bring up, but it conflicts with my predetermined ideals and I am not yet ready to accept this new opinion at this time; hurry up and give me the ice cream already, Mom."

Strange noises is probably my favorite way to communicate since I feel like I can't speak any language properly.

Be thankful that in English you don't have to change the suffix of every single fucking word that ends in ir, ar, and er depending on the context that word was used in and who it was addressed to

I am mildly annoyed that there isn't a sudden burst in forum activity in the ten minutes of time that I am trying to decide whether or not I am going to actually try to sleep at whatever time that happens to be. You people slightly disappoint me!

When people say sorry but what they mean is 'I'm sorry you're mad at me' and not 'I'm sorry I offended you.'

Airra · **Posted:** Fri Mar 27, 2015 12:57 pm

That bothers me, too. Especially when the very obviously condescending tone of voice is added.

This is over text, but I don't think they would have sounded condescending (though that makes it extra insulting) But the word choice and following up with defence of the offensive stuff they said tells me that they were still focused on themselves and their own needs and that they only felt bad because several people weren't pop flyin' with then.
