gollark: English is very lacking as a language.
gollark: "You" for singular and plural, formal and informal.
gollark: I mean in the sense of there literally being a formal version of "you" and associated verb endings.
gollark: German has a formal/informal distinction *too*, I wonder if they use formal verbs/pronouns/whatever and stupid owospeak together.
