Yes. Because I am a GEEK and get off on irregular conjugations and genderfucked nouns. English is the a linguistic eunuch, after all. We just say "it" and "the", and there's not even any plural pronouns to speak of, unless you count "Youze" when used with "Guys". How boring! Not to mention German has all those compound words, which I adore.

I also like the way the language sounds. Give me German and Russian Hebrew and Gaelic, thanks. All those vowelcentric Latin-based languages don't do a thing for me. Except Latin itself, that is, and also French, which isn't so much about ending everything in a vowel.
