No, there is no why when it comes to english, there just is. I am grateful I never had to learn it. We are lurking above Deimos? I feel dizzy, nauseous, pulled into two directions at once.!!!

"Erm.....Why are the oyster's winking at us? Is it the gravatational forses at work or are they masochistic? In Thai oyster's are called ~hoi lang num~ hoi is also the word they use for pussy. It is a very down to earth language without great amounts of grammer but has it's own degree of difficulty with all the different tones. One word can have 5 meanings, depending on how you sing it. Rising tone, falling tone, middle tone, at the start, at the end. Hard work for a Canadian who has a very flat accent"

*Comes round from a nightmare involving wet towels and trouser snakes*
I grew up in England and still couldn't tell you why the English language does some of the things it does, Pierce! (Personally, I put it down to my failed education and being a bit thick!
)
*Thinks hard for a minute which really gives her a headache and peers out of the port window at Deimos*
Pierce...err...Won't we cease to exist if we bump into ourselves in another reality?

Naw...not to worry Gwennie! I did that very thing once when I took a four way hit of window pane...I didn't know it was for ALL of us! I spent two days with myself in another reality...and I'm just dandy...and I'm just dandy...and I'm just dandy...and I'm just dandy...*wacks head with palm of hand* Wha?!?
Pierce since I was so poorly educated in math, yet had an amazingly high I.Q. (I think it had something to do with all those 'mind expanding' drugs I use to take) I can give you some stats on the English language: The English language has the largest vocabulary of ANY language...with 616,500 words. The next largest vocabulary 185,000 words, is German...my poor mind is a well of useless knoweldge...& I don't seem to be able to turn it off. So, in conclusion...nobody really understands or knows all of English.....if they do, they are by now completely insane!

First of all: We are not going to Deimos ourselves. I sent spy-bots instead. Better be on the safe side. No idea in getting hurt - or even killed - twice at the same time in different time zones. You follow? 'Caus I don't. That's why I'm staying here.
Sultandude, maybe the oysters are answering to the famous poem "The Walruss and the Carpenter" in which one of the characters suddenly says "Oh, oysters, come and walk with us"?
Language problems are known all over the world. Maybe more in the "big languages" (=large vocabularies)? I wouldn't know but it would make some sort of sense, I think.
I grew up with german and danish and had absolutely no clue why I said the things I said the way I said them. Had to investigate it though when I became a professional. (I still don't know nearly as much as I ought to, but don't tell anyone - at least not my employer )
It may surprise you that danish is one of the oldest and 20 largest languages in the world. There are still more danish words in english than there are english in danish (this never seizes to surprise elderly danes, who are afraid of the angloamerican influence on our language and culture).
Mark Twain said americans and englishmen were separated by a common language. He also said english is the only language in the world that consists entirely of foreign words - that are all pronounced wrong...

*Pierce slips out to the bridge and rummages around with nav-bots and com-bots and sets the controls for the heart of the ship. Then goes to the galley and shuts the door behind him. Vague familiar noises of electric kitchen untensils are heard. A food-bot enters with a tray of , roast chicken with garlic and potato salad*
The himself is nowhere to be seen...

Aye, then you are probably ready for another day in weightlessness? I have to leave, unfortunately. Got a boring meeting on the board to attend
