    Imho English grammar is incredibly straightforward and easy. German and French are much more complicated.

    Male Chairs and Female Tables.

    Why did they need to give everything a gender?

    In English I think chairs are weak-feminine, but I'd have to check. We lost inflection after the Normans arrived (ironically).

    Gnawing hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

    Well, English technically isn't my first language, but it's the one I'm most fluent in.

    I know all the grammar, but ignore certain rules either for ease of use or because I just disagree with them.

    I sometimes devolve into an Eastern-Europeanish accent when aggravated.
