I mean...isn't it just in a person's head because we've been raised to think they are bad? A word is just a word...that's all, isn't it?

Is it true that the Japanese language (especially the traditional verson) is very closely linked with the family of African languages?

I have a question about a very specific feature that is only found in certain dialects of Spanish. As far as I know, this feature is only used in dialects spoken around the Caribbean. I am not sure whether any linguists have written about this topic, but I am curious enough to design a very small pilot study about this feature. Will you please help me?

My question has to do with the -ico diminutive ending in Spanish. For example, in some dialects of Spanish "momentico" can be used to mean "a short moment". (Other dialects of Spanish would say "momentito".) If your dialect does not use "-ico" or "-ica" at all to make words, please don't answer this question.

I am curious to find out how the -ico ending combines with some words, but not others. Of the words in the following list, please tell me which words sound okay and not okay to you, and please tell me where you are from.
momentico
mesica
gatico
gotica
taquico
lorico
carica
torico

I was told the English language is one of the hardest to learn so why do the foreign countries want to learn our language?

Does it seem crazy that they invade a country, before learning to pronounce its name correctly? And for all those that think 'Eye-rack' is the correct pronunciation, just ask an Englishman (they named it), or better still an Eye-Rack-E!

I've been thinking about which language I would want to learn as my third language. I already speak English and French and would like to learn a third eventually. I am debating between several including German, Spanish and Russian, but I'm trying to balance the ones I enjoy most with the ones that would be more useful. I don't think I'd use German or Russian much unless I travel or spend time in Europe, but I think they are fabulous and interesting languages. Spanish I am less intrigued by, but I am Canadian and there are a lot of people that speak Spanish in the US, not to mention central and south America. What do you think?
