Why is English so primitive in comparison to Russian? It's impossible to read in. The word order is so clamped. My question is how do you read novels in English? Doesn't it make any story you read look and sound stilted and simplified?
Reading in stupid English

No counterarguments, anglocucks? I knew it!
The primitiveness of the English language is unjustifiable.
we need to boycott English
Your primitive understanding of English gives you a false impression of its limitations. This is understandable since you're a foreigner, but any semi-literate native speaker would run rings around you.
English is a very efficient language that is extremely rich in vocabulary.
To test this I like to take an English song and translate it directly into another language. How many useless syllables are gained when that is done? Odds are a lot. The song usually becomes unsingable in the other language. That's because English is more efficient.
What about the vocabulary? If you do something similar, like take a sentence in English and another language and compare how many different ways you can convey the same message. English usually wins in this too.
I think Mandarin is more efficient than English in terms of syllables used to convey a message, though.
I bet my understanding of English is infinitely greater than yours.
Simple, where English lacks in sentence structure flexibility it makes up for in vocabulary.
when it comes to vocabulary Russian wins hands down
