I know the POINT isn't "flow and beauty" my POINT is that other languages flow so much better than English. The way other languages work is vastly different than English. For example, in the Japanese language, the only consonant sound that a word can end in is "n." The rest of the words end in vowel sounds, which lends itself so much easier to rhyme.

NO language on Earth is as warped, confusing, and all around mutated as the English language. That's a fact. The English language has so many rules and so many exceptions to those rules that it's very complicated to work with. We take for granted how we just know English, but even we can't name the "right" ways to use it in most occasions. Therefore, it makes poetry, song lyrics, much much more difficult.

GRACE, you need to take a linguistics class before you say these kinds of things. Cuz you're pretty much incorrect on the things you're trying to present as fact.
