gollark: DOT DOT DOT

gollark: I mean, Latin and Ancient Greek (using those as examples as I do those at school) signal case, and other stuff like the person and voice (plus tense, sort of) with stuff at the end of words, it's not unusual.

gollark: Stuff can at least handle rendering some text backwards. Though I bet the text rendering people hate it.

gollark: English has its own !!FUN!! homonym issues (like issue, which can mean a version of a magazine or something from a certain date, or a problem). And horribly irregular grammar.

gollark: I have a few hundred "memes" stored.
