I had my iTunes on shuffle today, and the song Ever Fallen
In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) by Buzzcocks came on.
Now, after staring long and hard at shouldn’t’ve (which I’m
still not sure is even grammatically correct) for long enough, I decided that the
English language makes absolutely zero sense.
Somehow, I can look at the disaster of letters and
apostrophes and make sense of the muddled word and not think twice about how should not have becomes shouldn’t’ve.
Now, “Should not have”. Say it out loud. Does that even
sound right? It just sounds so wrong,
like when you finally get the correct spelling for a word and it still doesn’t
look right. I really do not even know any more, I need to learn a normal
language and speak that for the rest of my life, because even though English is
all I can speak, I’m so over its rules and stupid spellings and irregular verbs
and homophones and ARGH.
HOW DO PEOPLE IN NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES LEARN THIS
SHIT?
I give up. I seriously give up.
