The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: verbs - the regular, the irregular and the downright odd

The palaver did nothing to levigate my discomfort with his unwanted attetions. For a moment, I ruminated on slitting his throat, but the thought of cleaning up the imbruement on the carpet put me off the idea.
 
The thing about English verbs that really makes me tense is the fact that English has tense times, whereas Spanish doesn't. Why are you making things tense, English? Do you want to torture me, or do you want to be tortured?

Both. The answer is both. The English language is a bastard, born and bred, and created, recreated- a bastard language that bastardizes other languages as it goes and spreads like a virus around the globe corrupting everything it comes in contact with, or borrows from.

So yes, it wants to torture you and be tortured in return. It's also very flexible in a lot of ways, so maybe the perfect language for Lit?🤔

Both funny and not funny I guess.

La verdad es que el mejor idioma para escribir es este. Y si inglés me quiere torturar, tiene que pagar su impuesto primero. Aquí no doy mi fusta de gratis.
 
Honestly? You and your knowledge and humor, and HOW you relate those two things to others has been a gift, much needed, to the AH; so thank you! 🙂
Thanks! It's been quite a journey. Ever since I strode in here a few months ago, I was smitten with how much wisdom was lying around. I'm very glad nobody forsook me right out of the gate, I've felt very welcome, and have certainly drunk my fill of tidbits. And I appreciate that nobody has mollycoddled me, they told it to me straight, and helped to transmogrify my writing into something all the better.

That keeping with your dang thread, @StillStunned, or was I too verb-bose? 😁
