English is the "most" weirdest and "most" hardest language to learn. Anyone with me?

And whoever those who made this daMn stupid language as GLOBAL language should be shot on sight or burn in hell where all the corrupt politicians go. I hope I made it clear.

    The English language is indubitably the hardest of all languages to learn; and infinitely more difficult to acquire a great command of.

    It is the end product of all its conquerors and rulers; thus it is a strained mixture of old English, German, French and a little Latin thrown in for good measure.

    Some of the more confusing sentences to be found include:

    1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

    2) The farm was used to produce produce.

    3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

    4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

    5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

    6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

    7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

    8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

    9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

    10) I did not object to the object.

    11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

    12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

    13) They were too close to the door to close it.

    14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

    15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

    16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

    17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

    18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.

    19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

    20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

    21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

    English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

    pshh if you think English is hard, try learning Japanese or Chinese !

    German is hard to learn, all the words have another form, it depends on witch function it has in the sentence !

    In English, al the verbs are pretty much the same, you don't have to conjugate them.

    I work He works we work they work.. it's all the same !

    And a language becomes a global language beacuse a lot of people talk it, so if it really as a hard language, it wouldn't have been a GLOBAL language.
