The English have no respect for their language, and
will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably
that no man can teach himself what it sounds like. It is impossible for an
Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or
despise him. German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is
not accessible even to Englishmen. |
*abominably, adv.
1: in an offensive and hateful manner
2: in a terrible manner
