More weirdness? OK. There is exactly one language on Earth whose present tense requires a special ending only in the third‑person singular. I’m writing in it. ‹I talk›, ‹you talk›, ‹he/she talk-s› – why just that? The present‑tense verbs of a normal language have either no endings or a bunch of different ones (Spanish: ‹hablo›, ‹hablas›, ‹habla›). And try naming another language where you have to slip ‹do› into sentences to negate or question something. ‹Do› you find that difficult? Unless you happen to be from Wales, Ireland or the north of France, probably.
Why is our language so eccentric? Just what is this thing we’re speaking, and what happened to make it this way?
