Do you think people who 'speak' language with difficult grammar - lots of inflections, cases, numbers, tenses, genders, etc. - in their everyday life are wiser than people who speak a language with easier grammar?

I have been thinking why most languages with difficult grammar like Latin, Pali, and Old English are no longer spoken today.
Would that mean people all over the world are trying to make their life easier every day by make their language more easier to speak?

How come some american words mean something different in the UK.

For example: In America, if they say I like your fanny, they actually mean your bum. If somebody said that to me over here, they would get a punch as we call fanny a woman's private parts. What do they use the word Bum for?? A down and out person I think????

Also, why call crisps Chips. Over here Chips are served as a part as a main meal.

Why call chocolate Candy. What do they mean then when speaking about Chocolate.

Anybody else come up with different meanings for words.... Would be interesting to compare.

Do you have two names that mean something and when you put them together they actually compliment each other? For example Coco Crisp. Two names that mean something that when put together make him sound like a yummy breakfast cereal. My name is Charity Steward which sounds more like a position than a person. So is there anyone out there who like me actually has to repeat your name many times because people don't really believe such a person could exist? You don't have to tell that it's you with the name it could just be a name you've heard of. Any funny stories about names that mean something?
