>>624598The thing about the letter C is it's a useless fucking letter that was added in for no good fucking reason. All Cs should be lined up against a wall and shot.
So here's how C works, the motherfucker:
- sometimes it's pronounced "hard", sometimes "soft", just like "long" and "short" vowels only guess what, it's not a fucking vowel!
- When it's pronounced "hard" it is IDENTICAL to the sound a "k" makes!
- When it's pronounced "short" it is IDENTICAL to the sound an "s" makes!
- It's used for "compound" consonant sounds like "ch" and "sh" instead of just using a Xi or whatever like the Greeks figured out way before present day
- C is a fucking faggot which will make learning English harder, if you catch a C be sure to beat it
- Also wait until you get into the EPIC words that are spelled and/or pronounced the same way but have no common linguistic roots, or the words that DO have convoluted linguistic relationships and are commonly used in ways that actually make no sense grammatically when you stop to think about it. After that, the innumerable phrases and euphemisms that native speakers like me use without thinking about it but make zero fucking sense together in that word order in modern english or often even middle english. Or the euphemisms that just plain don't refer to what they mean to well anymore. You're in for a reaaaaal assfuck, I tell ya hwat.
- Don't forget muh past present future participle alternate verb and adverb endings! :^)
- I hope you like gerunds! English nouns are degenerate sluts that often don't even change form when they suddenly become verbs. They might also be nouns representing the CONCEPT of verbs and still be the same! :::^^^^)))))
That said, once you get semi-fluent you're golden and you never have to worry about MOTHERFUCKING genders on nouns verbs and every other word, unlike with literally all of the romantic languages.
