i'm an anglophone that has studied 6 languages.

we're arrogant idiots who think foreign languages don't exist, and shouldn't exist if they are hard to pronounce. we'd rather make fun of them for being 'weird' than actually... learn and appreciate them.

but i at the same time most every country phonetized foreign names to make them pronounceable in the native language. Russians change the pronunciation/spelling of many foreign words to russify them.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
