True. It's dumbed down so it is easier for people to learn.[/quote]
I hope I get the penultimate response to your flame.
Is this coming from someone who lives in a country where they they call a: cookie> a biscuit
electric outlet> a hearth what?
the hood of a car> a bonnet
and the final sticking point> most humans on earth are right-handed, so they drive on the left side of the road.
The English did not invent English, but they have sure done a good job in messing it up.
BTW: There are over 250,000 words in the American English language, another reason why it makes it so difficult for person whose first language was not Engish to learn our language.
Five definitions of the word/sound "base" please.

the hood of a car> a bonnet That and boot are two of the more attractive english words
